abstract

The goal of the DIRAC experiment at CERN (PS212) is to measure the $\pi^+\pi^-$ atom lifetime with 10% precision. Such a measurement would yield a precision of 5% on the value of the $S$-wave $\pi\pi$ scattering lengths combination $|a_0-a_2|$. Based on part of the collected data we present a first result on the lifetime, $\tau=[2.91 ^{+0.49}_{-0.62}]\times 10^{-15}$ s, and discuss the major systematic errors. This lifetime corresponds to $|a_0-a_2|=0.264 ^{+0.033}_{-0.020} m_{\pi}^{-1}$.

  1. Role of electromagnetic corrections in the $\pi\pi$ distributions of $\psi^\prime \to J/\psi \pi \pi$

    Electromagnetic corrections alter the π⁺π⁻-threshold cusp magnitude by ~2–3% in ψ′→J/ψπ⁰π⁰, so they must be included for precision extraction of S-wave ππ scattering lengths.
