Fundamental physics and precision experiments with muons, pions, neutrons, antiprotons, and other particles

Oral

In this talk an overview of some recent spectroscopy measurements and planned activities in the field of exotic atoms will be presented. Exotic bound states such as muonic and pionic atoms, muonium, positronium and antiprotonic helium are systems which offer the possibility to test bound-state QED, to perform test of fundamental symmetries, to extract fundamental constants such as masses and...

Low energy precision tests of the Standard Model

Oral

Hydrogenic systems like H, $\mu$H, muonium, and positronium are being considered for the determination of fundamental physical constants and for low-energy tests of the Standard Model. The precision of these tests, however, is limited either by a short natural life-time or by uncertainties in the nuclear structure. Additionally, the mean square charge radius observed for the proton...
