abstract
Extensive data on strong interaction effects in pionic atoms are analyzed with a density-dependent isovector scattering amplitude suggested recently by Weise to result from a density dependence of the pion decay constant. Most of the so-called `missing s-wave repulsion' is removed when adopting this approach, thus indicating a partial chiral symmetry restoration in dense matter. The resulting potentials describe quite well also elastic scattering of 20 MeV pions on Ca. Further tests with elastic scattering are desirable.

Pion properties in isospin-asymmetric nuclear matter using in-medium chiral perturbation theory
In isospin-asymmetric nuclear matter, the three pions acquire distinct in-medium masses, wave function renormalizations, and decay constants, computed at two-loop order with in-medium chiral perturbation theory.
