We find a solution to the static Chew-I. ow theory of pion-nucleon scattering, avoidingt the "one-meson approximation. " Our basic equation is crossing symmetric and may be solved for phase shifts 8(p) by standard numerical techniques, upon specifying a form factor v(p) and a set of inelasticities. With v(p) = exp( -p /30) we reproduce experimental 8(p) for pI & 1.2 GeV/c in the (3,3) state; in the (1,3) states and (3,1) states 5(p) compare well on the average but in the (1,1) state 5(p) have opposite signs. We show the importance of crossing symmetry and the coupling to inelastic channels, and we discuss the possibility of determining v(p) directly'from elastic scattering by an inverse scattering formula.NUCLEAB BEACTIONS Pion-nucleon elastic scattering; Chew-Low theory, pion nucleon form factor, crossing symmetry, couplingto inelastic channels, inverse scattering problem.
