PROTONIUM: The Mainz Cascade Model
Recent experiments at LEAR have studied extensively the properties of antiprotonic hydrogen, often also called protonium.
Cascade of exotic helium atoms
Abstract The cascade of muonic helium and its pressure dependence has been calculated over the whole pressure range from 1×10 −2 to 1×10 3 atm. The calculation does not use any free parameter. The results show good agreement with experimental data.
The atomic cascade of kaonic and pionic hydrogen
Abstract The X-ray intensities of kaonic and pionic hydrogen atoms are calculated as functions of the hydrogen density and are compared to experimental data. Data on kaonic hydrogen are statistically not very significant, the comparison with the cascade results allows to test their intrinsic consistency. X-ray intensities from pionic hydrogen agree reasonably with the results of the cascade model.
