DIRAC Experiment at CERN: Lifetime Measurement of Pionium

The DIRAC experiment, a magnetic double arm spectrometer, aims to measure the GeV/c proton beam of the CERN Proton Synchrotron. Since the value of this lifetime of order $10^{-15}$~s is dictated by strong interaction at low energy, a precise measurement of this quantity enables to study characterist...

description The DIRAC experiment, a magnetic double arm spectrometer, aims to measure the GeV/c proton beam of the CERN Proton Synchrotron. Since the value of this lifetime of order $10^{-15}$~s is dictated by strong interaction at low energy, a precise measurement of this quantity enables to study characteristic pion parameters in detail and to submit predictions of QCD to a severe check.
