Title: PI-Muonium: A determination of the pion charge radius

Abstract

Here the 2S₁₂ – 2P₁₂ energy level shift of the π-gm atom is studied. It is shown that an experimental determination of the 2S₁₂ – 2Pf₁₂ energy level shift accurate to one part per thousand can provide an independent determination of the pion charge radius.

Determination of the radius of the sup 11 Li neutron halo from pion double charge exchange

Journal Article Gibbs, W R ; Hayes, A C - Physical Review Letters; (United States)

We have analyzed the pion-induced double-charge-exchange data for the direct population of the ground state of {sup 11}Li by the {sup 11}B({pi}{sup {minus}},{pi}{sup +}){sup 11}Li reaction. We find that the measured cross section determines the rms radius of the last two neutrons in {sup 11}Li to be 5.1{sub {minus}0.9}{sup +0.6} fm, which corresponds to a total neutron rms radius for the nucleus of 3.28{sub {minus}0.33}{sup 0.24} fm. We show that for large assumed neutron-halo radii the cross section decreases as the radius of the halo to the inverse sixth power and that a radius of 12 fm leads to amore »« less

Measurement of the 2 sup 2 S sub 1/2 -2 sup 2 P sub 3/2 fine structure interval in muonium

Technical Report Kettell, S H

The (2{sup 2}S{sub 1/2} {minus} 2{sup 2}P{sub 3/2}) fine structure transition in muonium has been observed for the first time. The measured value is 9895 {sub {minus}30}{sup {plus}35}MHz. This measurement, when included with the theoretical value for the 2{sup 2}P{sub 1/2} {minus} 2{sup 2}P{sub 3/2} fine structure interval, gives a value for the Lamb shift (2{sup 2}S{sub 1/2} {minus} 2{sup 2}P{sub 1/2}) independent of previous direct measurements. From the theoretical value for the fine structure interval, 10921.833(3) MHz, the value for the Lamb shift determined from this experiment is 1027{sub {minus}35}{sup {plus}30} MHz and is in agreement with the predictionmore »« less

Pion charge radius and the pion form factor

Journal Article Hammer, C L ; Zidell, V S ; Reimer, R W ; ... - Phys. Rev., D; (United States)

The pion charge-form factor data for positive and negative values of k/sup 2/, the P-wave ..pi..-..pi.. phase-shift data, and the pion charge-radius data are analyzed using form factors previously developed by us and other authors. The peaked behavior near threshold for the P-wave ..pi..-..pi.. phase shift suggested by Levin and Okubo is found not to be necessary for large charge-radius values, but larger slopes (ddelta/sub 11//dk/sup 2/) at threshold do seem to be the important factor. We conclude that a more precise measurement of the pion charge radius is necessary to separate the different theoretical models. We also find thatmore »« less

Nuclear Charge Radii of ${}^{10, 11}B$

Journal Article Maaß, Bernhard ; Hüther, Thomas ; König, Kristian ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The first laser spectroscopic determination of the change in the nuclear charge radius for a five-electron system is reported. This is achieved by combining high-accuracy ab initio mass-shift calculations and a high-accuracy measurement of the isotope shift in the 2s²2p ²P_1/2 → 2s²3s ²S_1/2 ground state transition in boron atoms. Accuracy is increased by orders of magnitude for the stable isotopes ^10,11B and the results are used to extract their difference in the mean-square charge radius < rmore »« less

Investigation of the fine structure of antihydrogen

Journal Article Fajans, Joel ; Wurtele, Jonathan - Nature (London)

At the historic Shelter Island Conference on the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics in 1947, Willis Lamb reported an unexpected feature in the fine structure of atomic hydrogen: a separation of the 2S_1/2 and 2P_1/2 states. The observation of this separation, now known as the Lamb shift, marked an important event in the evolution of modern physics, inspiring others to develop the theory of quantum electrodynamics. Quantum electrodynamics also describes antimatter, but it has only recently become possible to synthesize and trap atomic antimatter to probe its structure. Mirroring the historical development of quantum atomic physics in the twentieth century, modernmore »« less
