Abstract
The optical model for pionic atoms is used to fit measurements over a range of nuclei with a particular emphasis on the apparently anomalous behaviour of the atomic shifts and widths in Na(1s), As(2p) and Ta(3d). Several modifications of the Ericson-Ericson potential are considered and a laplacian form of potential also examined. These do not improve the fit to the anomalous results. The reliability of the experimental data is discussed.
