The Production of the Exotic Atoms ${\pi }^{+}{\pi }^{-}$, $K^{+}{\pi }^{-}$ and $K^{+}{K}^{-}$

Abstract

Estimates are made of the signals to be expected in the production of the exotic atoms Pionium (${\pi }^{+}{\pi }^{-}$), Kaonium ($K^{+}{K}^{-}$) and also $K^{+}{\pi }^{-}$ in pp, pd and $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ reactions. Such experiments are now being undertaken or contemplated at CELSIUS, COSY, Indiana and SATURNE.
