Description
The pi- d atom strong energy-level shift in the 1s state is derived by using the effective field theory. Taking into account the large value of radius of pionic deuterium and short radius of strong interaction between pion and deuteron we have considered deuteron as particle described by vector field. Pion is described by scalar field. To obtain non-relativistic Hamiltonian for pi d system Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation has been derived for the vector field. The strong interaction between pion and deuteron has been taken at the zero-range approach. We have found the Deser type formula for relation between the strong energy-level shift and the s-wave pi d scattering length.
