We formulate a microscopic relativistic treatment of nucleon-nucleus inelastic scattering. Both the continuum and bound state single nucleon wave functions are obtained by solving the Dirac equation with scalar and timelike vector potentials. The interaction which drives the transition is expressed in terms of invariant combinations of Dirac matrices. The structure of the resulting amplitudes is presented, and certain of their features, such as selection rules, are discussed.
