VILLARS 2004 CERN SPS and PS Committee L. Nemenov25 September 2004 Creation of an intense source of ππ, πKand other exotic atoms at SPS proton beam and using them for accurate measurements of ππ, πKscattering length and other low energy parameters to check the precise low energy QCD predictions
Theoretical motivation Standard Model Q>> Q<< VILLARS 2004 CERN SPS and PS Committee L. Nemenov25 September 2004 QFD QED QCD HIGH energy (small distance) LOW energy (large distance) perturbative QCD: LQCD (q,g) interaction „weak“ (asympt. freedom): expansion in coupling Check only Lsym chiral sym. & break: Leff (GB: ,K,) interaction „strong“ (confinement) - but: expansion in energy Check Lsym as well as Lbreak-sym q-condensate

Downstream of the magnet, in each spectrometer arm: drift chambers (DC), vertical and horizontal scintillation hodoscopes (VH, HH), gas Cherenkov counters (Ch), preshower detector (PSh) and, behind the iron absorber, muon detector (Mu). In the left arm:Aerogel Cherenkov counters. Upstream of the spectrometer magnet: microdrift chambers (MDC) , scintillating fiber detectors (SFD) , ionization hodoscopes (IH).
