Limits on a long range pion nucleon interaction from pionic atom and πN scattering data

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

Experimental limits are obtained on any non-electromagnetic long range pion nucleon interaction, from accurate π+p scattering data and from pionic atom energy levels. Such an interaction is effectively ruled out in the regionr≲100 fm unless its potential falls off faster thanr −4.
