| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
After investigating the pi+pi- atom with the ground state lifetime of 3.15×10－15 s, the DIRAC spectrometer was upgraded in order to study simultaneously pi+pi- and piK atoms.
The experiment at the CERN PS observed for the first time long-lived states of the pi+pi- atoms. The number of pion pairs resulting from the breakup of long-lived pi+pi- atoms amounts to 436 ± 61, corresponding to sigma=7.1. This observation opens a new possibility to measure energy differences between P and S atomic states (Lamb-shift) and so to determine another combination of pi-pi scattering lengths. The piK atoms are produced by 24 GeV/c protons interacting with Pt or Ni foil targets. The breakup of piK atoms in the targets yields characteristic piK pairs with small relative momenta in the pair center of mass system. The experiment observed 349 ± 62 such atomic piK pairs, corresponding to sigma= 5.6. This is the first statistically significant observation of the strange dimesonic piK atom.
