A formalism is developed for treating scattering processes in the several hundred Mev range in which the target nucleus is left in its ground state or in a low excited state. These processes will be described in terms of collisions between the incident particle and single nucleons of the nucleus, using approximations of a semi-classical nature. The inelastic processes can be regarded as single particle excitations, the effects of scattering by other nucleons being included in a distorting potential. The target nucleons are assumed stationary during the passage of the incident particle; it is demonstrated that this is a reasonable approximation. (auth)
