Mesonic atoms from heavy-ion collisions. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The cross section for creating, in high-energy heavy-ion collisions, a negatively charged meson such as - or K- in the atomic orbits of the nuclear fragments is evaluated in the participant-spectator model. Its magnitude depends sensitively on the lifetime of the source. For a lifetime comparable to the collision time, the cross section is appreciable. 1985 The American Physical Society.
