Resonance photoproduction of pionic atoms at the Gamma Factory

14 Oct 2020 · Victor V. Flambaum, Junlan Jin, Dmitry Budker ·

We present a possibility of direct resonance production of pionic atoms (Coulomb bound states of a negative pion and a nucleus) with a rate of up to $\sim10^{10}$ per second using the gamma-ray beams from the Gamma Factory.
