Abstract: (APS)
The energy level shifts and level widths of the s states of the π-mesonic atoms are discussed. The discussion is limited to fairly light nuclei. On the basis of Orear's determination of the scattering lengths for meson-nucleon scattering, semiquantitative predictions are made. It is pointed out that even a knowledge of the algebraic sign of the level shift would be of value.
