(Pi+Pi-) Atom in Chiral Perturbation Theory

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

Hadronic (Pi+Pi-) atom is studied in the relativistic perturbative approach based on the Bethe-Salpeter equation. The general expression for the atom lifetime is derived. Lowest-order corrections to the relativistic Deser-type formula for the atom lifetime are evaluated within the Chiral Perturbation Theory.
