Elastic and inelastic scattering data of 1.37 GeV {alpha} particles on {sup 12}C and {sup 40,42,44,48}Ca are analyzed within the framework of the Glauber theory. Collective excitations to one-phonon levels are treated using the Tassie model. The effect of the coupling between the elastic and inelastic channels is considered. It is shown that a phase variation of the nucleon-nucleon elastic scattering amplitude leads to a large increase in the calculated differential cross section. The presence of a phase variation leads to a substantial improvement. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
