Abstracts
The optical dispersion relations are extended to the scattering of massive particles and are applied to the nuclear interaction of the pion-nucleon system. The sign of the forward scattering amplitude is unambiguously inferred from measured total cross sections and found to agree with that determined from Coulomb interference.
