Determination of scattering lengths from measurement of atom lifetime

B. Adeva, L. Afanasyev, M. Benayoun +92

The DIRAC experiment at CERN has achieved a sizeable production of atoms and has significantly improved the precision on its lifetime determination. From a sample of 21227…

Prospects for Observing the Standard Model Higgs Boson Decaying into b\bar{b} Final States Produced in Weak Boson Fusion with an Associated Photon at the LHC

D. M. Asner, M. Cunningham, S. Dejong +3

One of the primary goals of the Large Hadron Collider is to understand the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism. In the Standard Model, electroweak symmetry breaking is describe…

First measurement of the atom lifetime

The DIRAC collaboration

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

Dynamics of the Pionium with the Density Matrix Formalism

L Afanasyev, C Santamarina, A Tarasov +1

The evolution of pionium, the hydrogen-like atom, while passing through matter is solved within the density matrix formalism in the first Born approximation. We compare t…

The pion-pion scattering lengths from DIRAC

Cibran Santamarina

The scattering lengths of a two pion system are the {\it golden magnitudes} to test the QCD predictions in the low energy sector. The DIRAC (PS-212) experiment at CERN will obtain…

A Monte Carlo Calculation of the Pionium Break-up Probability with Different Sets of Pionium Target Cross Sections

C. Santamarina, M. Schumann, L. G. Afanasyev +1

Chiral Perturbation Theory predicts the lifetime of pionium, a hydrogen-like atom, to better than 3% precision. The goal of the DIRAC experiment at CERN is to obtain and…
