First measurement of a long-lived $π^{+} π^{-}$ atom lifetime

B. Adeva, L. Afanasyev, A. Anania +56

The adapted DIRAC experiment at the CERN PS accelerator observed for the first time long-lived hydrogen-like $π^{+} π^{-}$ atoms, produced by protons hitting a beryllium target. A part…

Observation of $π^{-} K^{+}$ and $π^{+} K^{-}$ atoms

DIRAC Collaboration

The observation of hydrogen-like $π K$ atoms, consisting of $π^{-} K^{+}$ or $π^{+} K^{-}$ mesons, is presented. The atoms have been produced by 24 GeV/ $c$ protons from the CERN PS accelera…

Evidence for $π K$ -atoms with DIRAC

B. Adeva, L. Afanasyev, Y. Allkofer +77

We present evidence for the first observation of electromagnetically bound $π^{\pm} K^{\mp}$ -pairs ( $π K$ -atoms) with the DIRAC experiment at the CERN-PS. The $π K$ -atoms are produced by…

First measurement of the $π^{+} π^{-}$ atom lifetime

The DIRAC collaboration

The goal of the DIRAC experiment at CERN (PS212) is to measure the $π^{+} π^{-}$ atom lifetime with 10% precision. Such a measurement would yield a precision of 5% on the value of the $…

Tests of the Equivalence Principle with Neutral Kaons

CPLEAR Collaboration, J. Ellis, N. E. Mavromatos +1

We test the Principle of Equivalence for particles and antiparticles, using CPLEAR data on tagged K0 and K0bar decays into pi^+ pi^-. For the first time, we search for possible ann…

Test of CPT Symmetry and Quantum Mechanics with Experimental data from CPLEAR

R. Adler, etal, J. Ellis +3

We use fits to recent published CPLEAR data on neutral kaon decays to $π^{+} π^{-}$ and $π e ν$ to constrain the CPT--violation parameters appearing in a formulation of the neutral kaon s…
