Production of pioniumProduction of pionium
Atoms are Coulomb bound state of two pions produced in one proton-nucleus collision
Background processes:Coulomb pairs. They are produced in one proton nucleus collision from fragmentation or short lived resonances resonances (, K*, ,...) and exhibit Coulomb interaction in the final state:
Non-Coulomb pairs. They are produced in one proton nucleus collision. At least one pion originates from a long lived resonance. No Coulomb interaction in the final state
Accidental pairs. They are produced in two independent proton nucleus collision. They do not exhibit Coulomb interaction in the final state

Analysis based on MCAnalysis based on MCAtoms are generated in nS states using measured momentum distribution for short-lived sources. The atomic pairs are generated according to the evolution of the atom while propagating through the target
Background processes:
Coulomb pairs are generated according to AC(Q)Q2 using measured momentum distribution for short-lived sources.
Non-Coulomb pairs are generated according to Q2 using measured momentum distribution for long-lived sources.
Monte Carlo simulation is restricted to detector response only withoutrelying on specific asumptions from proton-nucleus collision models

Results from DIRACResults from DIRAC• DIRAC collaboration has built up a double arm spectrometer which
provides a pair relative momentum (Q) resolution of 0.5 MeV/c for Q<30MeV/c
• More than 15000 of + - pairs from pionium break-up were observed• The analysis of Ni 2001 data provides a lifetime measurement which
translates into an S-wave amplitude measurement at rest :
