  1. EXOTIC ATOMS/NUCLEIT. Yamazaki, RIKEN • Yukawa mesons (1935) • Anderson PR51(1937), Nishina PR52(1937): muon • Tomonaga-Araki, PR58(1940): mesonic atom formation • Fermi-Teller (1947) • Strong-interaction shifts of pion: Jenkins et al. (1966) • Ericson-Ericson (1966), Tomozawa-Weinberg (1966) • Deeply bound pions: Toki-Yamazaki (1988) • First observation (1996)

  2. Exotic Resonance States of Antiprotons, Pions and Kaons in Atomic and Nuclear SystemsToshimitsu Yamazaki, RIKEN • Hadronic systems --> strong nuclear absorption --> short-lived, no discrete states • Exceptions: long-lived, discrete states in continuum: Energy spacing >Width • --> High-precision spectroscopy • Feshbach resonances: Bound states of X- embedded in continuum Exotic atoms/nuclei Negative pions Negative kaons Antiprotons

  3. Hadron-Nucleus Bound-State SpectroscopyToshimitsu Yamazaki (RIKEN) • Explore Chiral Symmetry Restoration in Nuclear Media Brown-Rho scaling: • HOW TO MEASURE In-medium hadron masses and interactions in well defined states and densities?? • POPULAR METHODS: Invariant-mass spectroscopy for decay particles in continuum medium • NEW METHOD: Bound-state spectroscopy: IF hadron bound states exist with narrow widths? How? Suppression mechanisms for nuclear absorption? Pionic Nuclei (1988 -): observed (1996,1998,2001), matured Kaonic Nuclei (2000 -): predicted, no observation yet

  4. Deeply Bound Pionic States1s pionic states in heavy (N>Z) nuclei • Shallow pionic atoms: • Last orbital:~1-10 keV • Deeply bound states: ~ 0.5 MeV ~ 5 MeV Still discrete states!! Coulomb attraction + Strong Interaction Repulsion ----->> Halo like pionic states (absorption suppressed) E. Friedman and G. Soff (1985) H. Toki et al. (1988): --->> pion transfer reactions First success: (d, 3He) at GSI

  10. PIONIC NUCLEIas a unique indicator ofChiral Symmetry Restorationin the nuclear medium Fundamental building blocks: • Nuclei: protons (938 MeV) + neutrons (940 MeV) + virtual mesons (pion: 140 MeV; etc.) • Hadrons: quarks + gluons: u (~ 5 MeV), d (~ 8 MeV), s (~ 150 MeV) Surprising discrepancies -->> ascribed to quark condensate in QCD vacuum: order parameter of chiral symmetry breaking QCD vacuum is subject to change: partial restoration of chiral symmetry HOW to prove or disprove this scenario? As in superconductors Pion decay constant in medium ---> Isovector pion-N interaction b1(free) /b1*(r) -->>
