The analysis method developed for kaonic nitrogen X-ray data obtained at the DAΦNE electron–positron collider of Frascati National Laboratories using Charge-Coupled Devices (CCDs) in the DEAR experimental setup is described. Background events could be highly rejected by this analysis procedure. Three sequential X-ray lines from kaonic nitrogen transitions, showing good energy resolution, could...

The DEAR (DAΦNE exotic atom research) experiment measured the energy of x rays emitted in the transitions to the ground state of kaonic hydrogen. The measured values for the shift ε and the width Γ of the 1s state due to the K⁻p strong interaction are ε1s=-193±37 (stat) ±6 (syst) eV and Γ1s=249±111 (stat) ±30 (syst) eV, the most...

The first measurement of the yields of three kaonic nitrogen X-ray transitions, using the DEAR (DAΦNE Exotic Atom Research) setup at the DAΦNE collider of Frascati, is reported. The yields are 41.5±8.7(stat.)±4.1(sys.)% for the n=7→6 transition, 55.0±3.9(stat.)±5.5(sys.)% for the n=6→5 transition and 57.4±15.2(stat.)±5.7(sys.)% for the n=5→4 transition at a density ρ=3.4ρNTP.
