An investigation is made of the relation between scattering lengths and resonances in a two-nucleon system. For resonances Eo near zero energy the usual determination of an effective optical potential in mesonic atoms is limited, and it is shown here that the scattering length can only be represented usefully as a sum over resonances of the compound system if the condition IEolDI ~ (PDo)! Is satisfied, where D is the average spacing of s-wave states, p the density of target nucleons and Do the Compton volume of the reduced system. This condition is seen to be valid for mr:, nK and KK interactions and these systems are considered in some detail. It is shown that knowledge of the level shifts of each of these examples can help resolve present uncertainties in associated boson structure.

We consider two ways of the experimental determination of the S-wave ππ scattering lengths: from K → 3π decays and from Ke4 decays. In both cases the unitary cusps, which emerge due to the difference in the charged and neutral pion masses, play a crucial role. We construct a systematic effective field theory framework which can be used to describe decay amplitudes in the cusp region.

Large samples of K± → 3π and K± → π+π-e±ν (Ke4) decays have been collected by the NA48/2 experiment at CERN SPS. At the π+π- threshold, the π0π0 invariant mass spectrum of the decay K± → π±π0π0 xhibits a Wigner cusp, from which the S-wave ππ scattering lengths are extracted with high precision. The same scattering lengths are also independently determined from the accurate measurement of the form factors in the Ke4 decay K± → π+π-e±ν.

A model independent expression for the electromagnetic corrections to a phenomenological hadronic pion-nucleon (πN) scattering length ah, extracted from pionic hydrogen, is obtained. In a non-relativistic approach and using an extended charge distribution, these corrections are derived up to terms of order α2 log α in the limit of a short-range hadronic interaction. We infer [Formula: see text] which gives for the πNN coupling through the GMO relation [Formula: see text].
