Scientific paper
A review of the modern theory of hadronic atoms based on the non-relativistic effective Lagrangian approach and ChPT, is given. As an application of the general framework, we consider the decay of the pi+pi- atom into two neutral pions, and the energy-level shift of the pi-p atom. The analysis of the decay width of the pi+pi- atom has been carried out at the first non-leading order in isospin breaking, and at O(e^2p^2) in ChPT, that results in an accurate theoretical prediction for this quantity. The study of the pi-p atom energy-level shift within the same approach clearly demonstrates the necessity to critically reaccess the values of the pi N scattering lengths, extracted from the energy-level shift measurement by means of the potential model-based theoretical analysis. The construction of short-range hadronic potentials from field theory is also discussed.
