Quasielastic scattering cross sections have been measured with a 950 MeV/c
pi (-) beam on targets of H-2, Li-6, C, Ca, Zr, and Pb-208. over a range of
three-momentum transfers from 350 through 650 MeV/c. Results for carbon ar
e compared to a finite-nucleus continuum random-phase approximation calcula
tion including distortions. The pion spectra at our lowest range of momentu
m transfers show less scalar/isoscalar correlation than predicted.
