Abstract

We study the structure and formation of deeply bound pionic atoms on β-unstable nuclei. We calculate the eigenenergies of the pionic atoms using the model nuclear densities and the realistic pion-nucleus optical potential. We also investigate the formation cross sections of the deeply bound pionic atoms in the inverse reaction d(RI, 3He)X using an effective number approach for wide range of unstable nuclei with the closed neutron number so as to check the experimental feasibility.

      It is worth to note that one of the most sensitive tests for the chiral symmetry breaking scenario in the modern nuclear physics is also provided by investigation of the exotic hadronic atomic systems. All said explains intense theoretical and experimental works on the exotic atomic systems in special projects at meson factories in different laboratories (Berkley, Virginia (USA), CERN and PSI (Switzerland), RIKEN (KEK, Japan), DAFNE (Italy) etc.).1–60 For example, the hadronic ground state shift ε1s and width Γ1s in pionic deuterium were measured with high precision at the pion factory of the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI), Switzerland (PSI-Experiment R-06.03).
