  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 broadening by strong interaction Nuppec Meeting, Vienna, March 13, 2009

  6. Research Areas • Matter-antimatter asymmetry: ASACUSA @ CERN • Antikaon-nucleon interaction: kaonic atoms and nuclei • Antiprotons at FAIR Nuppec Meeting, Vienna, March 13, 2009

  12. Low-energyantikaon- nucleoninteraction • The low-energykaon-nucleoninteractionisneither 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 energykaon-nucleoninteraction • K-p thresholddata • Sourcesofinformation on the s-waveinteraction putconstraints on theory: • Kaon-protonscatteringdata (olddata, large errors) • πΣ massspectrum • Thresholdinelasticdecayratios • X-raydataofkaonicatoms (e.g. K-p, K-d) • Reliabletheoryhastocopetheseinformations • Most simple systems K-p, K-d (K-3,4He) • "kaonic hydrogen puzzle" solved (signof strong interactionis negative, i.e. repulsive atthreshold ) • New precisionexperimentsrunning/upcoming (SIDDHARTA @ LNF, E17@J-PARC) • Precision - challengeforexperiments • Challenge fortheory(extractionofscatteringlengths, K-N sigmaterm) Nuppec Meeting, Vienna, March 13, 2009
