A detailed analysis is carried out of elastic scattering of slow ..pi.. mesons by nuclei. Interaction of the ..pi.. mesons with nuclei is described by means of an effective quasipotential V/sub eff/ constructed similarly to the quasipotential for the bound states of a ..pi.. meson in mesic atoms. Use is made of the most complete variant of this potential, including corrections not previously taken into account. A detailed study is made of the dependence of the results on the shape of the nuclear density distribution. A rather good quantitative description of the experimental data is obtained for scattering of ..pi../sup + -/mesons with energies T/sub ..pi../MeV. For T/sub ..pi../MeV only a qualitative description of the experiments is obtained.
