Pionic Hydrogen: Status and Outlook
msra(2001)
摘要
The measurement of the strong interaction shift and width of the ground state in the pionic hydrogen atom determines two different
linear combinations of the two isospin separated s-wave scattering lengths of the pion nucleon system. If both quantities are measured with a precision of about 1% a stringent
test of chiral perturbation theory and a determination of the pion nucleon coupling constant can be obtained. Past measurements
determined the shift with an accuracy better than 1%, and the width with an accuracy of 9%. Additional information from pionic
deuterium measurements has been used in order to extract isospin separated scattering lengths with sufficient accuracy. Future
measurements plan to directly measure the width of pionic hydrogen with an accuracy on the level on 1%.
