Description

It has been demonstrated that it is possible to measure X-rays from pionic atoms directly at the pion production target. As compared to classical systems where the pions are first transported through a pion channel from the production target to a secondary target the gain is about two orders of magnitude in intensity. At the pion channel at SIN the construction is in progress of a bent-crystal spectrometer that will also measure X-rays from pionic atoms produced in the pion production target. (Auth.)
