Exotic Atoms
Exotic atoms represent a bridge between atomic physics and nuclear/particle physics … and an unique laboratory
precision experiments
Nuppec Meeting, Vienna, March 13, 2009 5
Fundamental symmetry and interaction studies with exotic atoms
• Hadronic atoms(pionic, kaonic, antiprotonic atoms)
• highly excited states (optical transitions)pbar-He (atomcule)– spectroscopy, with QED
pbar properties, CPT
• low-lying states (xray transitions)– Strong interaction at low-
energy (inaccessible in scattering experiments)
shift and broadeningby strong interaction

Low-energy antikaon- nucleon interaction
• The low-energy kaon-nucleon interaction is neither simple nor well
understood.
• Problems arise from the existence of resonances like the famous Λ*(1405)
in the s wave (one pole/two pole structure?)
• In general the development of reliable theories suffers from the lack of
precision data on the observables (e.g. shift/width of kaonic atoms)
Nuppec Meeting, Vienna, March 13, 2009 13
Low energy kaon-nucleon interaction• K-p threshold data • Sources of information on the s-wave interaction
put constraints on theory:– Kaon-proton scattering data (old data, large errors)– πΣ mass spectrum– Threshold inelastic decay ratios– X-ray data of kaonic atoms (e.g. K-p, K-d)
• Reliable theory has to cope these informations Nuppec Meeting, Vienna, March 13, 2009 14
• Most simple systems K-p, K-d (K-3,4He)"kaonic hydrogen puzzle" solved (sign of strong interaction is negative, i.e. repulsive at threshold )
• New precision experiments running/upcoming(SIDDHARTA @ LNF, E17@J-PARC)
• Precision - challenge for experiments• Challenge for theory (extraction of scattering lengths,
K-N sigma term)
