contents We apply to the nucleon-nucleus inelastic process a fully coherent microscopic multiple scattering approach. Our study addresses the complexities inherent in characterizing inelastic scattering events, offering a comprehensive theoretical model grounded in the reaction theory. The approach is based on the distorted-wave approximation and requires the knowledge of three potentials, which give the initial and final distorted wave functions and the transition potential. All of them are derived just like the microscopic optical potential for elastic nucleon-nucleus scattering we derived in previous papers of ours within the framework of the Watson multiple scattering theory and adopting the impulse approximation. The potentials are obtained by folding nonlocal ab initio nuclear densities from the No-Core Shell Model (NCSM) with a nucleon-nucleon $t$ matrix computed with a chiral interaction consistent with the one used in the calculation of the density. The only difference in the formal expressions of the three potentials resides in the nuclear density, where we use the ground and excited state densities of the target and the transition density. By extending methods traditionally applied to elastic scattering, we incorporate the effects of inelastic transitions enabling an accurate description of the experimental differential cross section. The predictive power of our numerical results is benchmarked against empirical data of inelastic proton scattering off $^{12}$C, for the transition to the $2^+$ state at 4.44 MeV, in a range of projectile energies of 65-300 MeV. The generally good description of the experimental cross sections as functions of the scattering angle gives clear evidence of the reliability and robustness of a model that does not contain any free adjustable parameters.
