Abstract

Recent progress in studies of exotic atoms is summarized. Strong interaction effects in p̄,K- are discussed and the first direct measurements of Σ- atom strong interaction shifts and widths are cited. The very recent experimental efforts on p̄p and K- p atoms are briefly described and compared and some preliminary findings are discussed. Recent results on measurements of the antiproton mass are given.
