Abstrakt: We investigate the possibility of determining the value of the pion–nucleon sigma term σπ N precisely by the experimental observables of deeply bound pionic atoms. We discuss the sensitivity of the observables to σπ N and take into account the typical errors of up-to-date experiments on deeply bound pionic atoms. We find that the gap in the binding energies and the width of the deeply bound pionic states are good observables for σπ N value determination with experimental data. We also discuss the expected difficulties for the accurate determination of the value of σπ N due to the correlation between the σ term and the potential parameter in the pion–nucleus optical potential.
