The task is to calculate the imaginary part of the scattering amplitude based on the measured phase shifts. The specific phase shifts provided are used to derive the scattering amplitude, leading to the conclusion that the imaginary part is 251.271 fm. This highlights the relationship between phase shifts and scattering amplitudes in particle physics."}
