Description
On the basis of new data on pionic atoms, it is argued that the criticality condition for the existence of strongly bound π-nuclear states is likely to be met in most nuclei. Numerical solutions for 27Al, 48Ca, and 209Bi are reported, with the conclusion that the widths of such π states are generally prohibitively large for their observability except, possibly, in heavy nuclei
