Phys. Rev. A 53, 2089–2091 (1996)Scattering of relativistic π+π- atoms by thin magnetic layers for the determination of the 2s,2p energy differenceReceived 7 August 1995; published in the issue dated April 1996 It is shown that transitions between the 2s and 2p states of the A2π atoms consisting of pairs of π+,π- mesons can be induced by the scattering of an incident relativistic beam of A2π atoms by a thin magnetic layer. We calculate the transition probability as a function of the thickness of the magnetic layer. For a relativistic factor γ=(1-v2/c2)-1/2=20 of the incident A2π atoms and a magnetic field B=2 T we find a probability of the 2s→2p transition of 0.0013. © 1996 The American Physical Society. © 1996 The American Physical Society URL:
