The s-wave repulsion and deeply bound pionic atoms: fact and fancy
arXiv:nucl-th/0211087 · doi:10.1016/S0375-9474(03)01222-3
Abstract
Fits to a large data set of pionic atoms show that the `missing' s-wave repulsion is accounted for when a density dependence suggested recently by Weise is included in the isovector term of the s-wave pion optical potential. The importance of using large data sets is demonstrated and the role of deeply bound pionic atom states is discussed.
