Abstract

Binding energies and widths of pions bound in the 1s state of heavy and superheavy atoms are evaluated. The repulsive strong interaction lowers the Coulomb binding energy by up to 50%. The energy width of the strongest bound state investigated becomes comparable with the binding energy. No drastic consequence for pion propagation in nuclear matter is expected.
