Abstract

An experiment to measure the strong interaction width (Γ1s ) and shift (ε1s ) of the ground state of pionic hydrogen (π−p), in order to determine the isospin separated scattering lengths (a + and a −) with a relative accuracy of better than 10−2, has been undertaken at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI). This measurement is based on high-precision X-ray spectroscopy of the np→1s transitions pionic hydrogen (π−p). A preliminary analysis of the data taken in December 2000 is presented.
