Why atoms ?•Particles scatter off each other in well defined atomic quantum states•Very low Q’s atomic level scheme sensitive to scattering length
Strong interaction leads to complex energy eigenvaluesEnl - i nl/2 = Enl
QED + nl - i nl/2Example:
1S 2a0 + a2 1S |a0 - a2|2
“Model-independent” determination of scattering lengths

Experimental status on In the 60’s and 70’s set of experiments were performed to measure πK scattering amplitudes. Most of them were done studying the scattering of kaons on protons or neutrons, and later also on deuterons. The kaon beams used in these experiments had energies ranging from 2 to 13 GeV. The main idea of those experiments was to determine the contribution of the One Pion Exchange (OPE) mechanism. This allows to obtain the πK scattering amplitude. Analysis of experiments gave the phases of πK-scattering in the region of 0.7 ≤ m(πK) ≤ 2.5 GeV. The most reliable data on the phases belong to the region 1 ≤ m(πK) ≤ 2.5 GeV.
