Measurements of the differential cross sections for backward (pi)('+)p and (pi)('-)p elastic scattering have been made for incident pion momenta between 30 and 90 GeV/c in the angular range 0 ) p(pi)('-), the (DELTA)(,(delta)) and N(,(alpha)) for (pi)('+)p (--->) p(pi)('+). As is given by this model, the momentum dependence of the differential cross-section, d(sigma)/du for fixed u, may be parameterized with the form (DIAGRAM, TABLE OR GRAPHIC OMITTED...PLEASE SEE DAI) The values n('+) = 2.31 (+OR-) 0.07 and n('-) = 2.08 (+OR-) 0.06 are obtained for n at u = 0 for (pi)('+) and (pi)('-) scattering respectively.Type
