November – December 2002 – kaonic hydrogen measurement performed
Collected data: • -Kaonic Nitrogen: • 6 – 28 October (about 17 pb-1 – 10 pb-1 in stable conditions); • -Kaonic Hydrogen: • 30 October – 16 December: about 60 pb-1 • Background data (no collisions) for KH: • 16 – 23 December October – December 2002 DAQ
The first phase of the DEAR Scientific program is completedResults of this phase are hereby presented
Objectives of kaonic nitrogen measurement # Background study and reduction; optimization of the kaon stopping point distribution (i.e. degrader shaping) # First exotic atom measurement at DAFNE # KN Physics: yield measurements (exotic atom cascade); - test of a future precision measurement of the charged kaon mass
Kaonic Nitrogen(October 2002) integrated luminosity 10 pb-1 (T = 85 K, P = 1.01 bar, density = 4.4 g/l) • Pattern of 3 • transitions: • 7 -> 6 at 4.6 keV • 6 -> 5 at 7.6 keV • 5 -> 4 at 14.0 keV
Kaonic Nitrogen, 10 pb-1 (October 2002) Background subtracted spectrum • Pattern of 3 lines: • 2690 +/- 650 ev. at 4.6 keV • 5320 +/- 395 ev. at 7.6 keV • 1360 +/- 330 ev. at 14.0 keV
Kaonic Nitrogen Physics • First determination of the yield of 3 Kaonic Nitrogen X-ray transitions: 7 6 (33.7 +/- 8.1 +/- 3.4)% 6 5 (55.5 +/- 4.2 +/- 5.5)% 5 4 ( 66.4 +/- 15.6 +/- 6.4)% • Mass of the kaon – as a test measurement: mK- = 493.884 +/- 0.314 MeV (Ph. D. thesis, paper to be submitted to Phys. Lett. B)
3. Kaonic hydrogen(November – December 2002)- preliminary results -
First Kaonic Hydrogen at DANE (Nov. 2002) integrated luminosity: 20 pb-1 very preliminary
Kaonic Hydrogen 1800 events in 6.3 keV-region: 500 events Fe + 1300 events KH very preliminary extrapolated JZ / 26.11.02
Kaonic Hydrogen,80 pb-1 Monte Carlo simulated spectrum 7000 events K 14000 events K-complex -1 ~ 33eV
Request to the 25th Scientific Committee # To continue until we get an integrated luminosity of at least 80 pb-1 to permit a measurement at the level of ~ 33 eV, assuming the present machine conditions.
What we have obtained: # 60 pb-1 of integrated luminosity which allowed (very preliminary result) a measurement at the level of ~ 40 eV goal was fulfilled
Two independent analyses were performed:- a global fit of the KH spectrum;- a (measured) background subtracted spectral analysis

Kaonic Hydrogen (2002 data) Measured background subtracted spectrum - smoothed very preliminary ?
Results of the KH analyses:(Very preliminary) Ka = 3100 +/- 1300 ev. Kcomplex= 6800 +/- 2400 Two independent preliminary analyses of the 60 pb-1 collected data were performed – results in very good agreement: e= (162 +/- 40) eV G = ~( 200+/- 80) eV
DEAR and the rest of the world • = (162 +/- 40) eV G = (200+/- 80) eV The obtained results: represent the best measurement performed on Kaonic Hydrogen up to now

MORE on KH analysis: 1) Refine quality of data – Charge Transfer corrections 2) Finalize the analysis with the good quality data 3) Careful study of the systematic errors 4) Interpretation of the results: challenge for theorist SPRING SCHOOL 19-23 May - contact with Bern and Bonn groups (Gasser, Rusetsky: Ph. D. Student on KH interpretation – revival of interest)
Next Steps of the DEAR Scientific Program # few eV precision measurement of kaonic hydrogen 1s level shift; # few eV precision measurement of kaonic deuterium1s level shift in order to determine the isospin dependent antikaon nucleon scattering lengths at percent level precision
Monte Carlo simulations with the SDD triggerable setup(see talk of C. Fiorini) # Percent precision measurement of kaonic hydrogen transition – with 50 pb-1;
Kaonic Hydrogen Monte Carlo simulation in realistic conditions Precision on shift ~ 3 eV 50 pb-1 S/B = 1/1
Further plans # Kaonic helium measurement (“kaonic helium puzzle”);# Other light kaonic atoms measurement (Li, Be…);# Charged kaon mass precision measurement# Investigate the possibility of the measurement of other types of hadronic exotic atoms (sigmonium?)
How to reach these goals? NEXT TALK…..(C. Fiorini – Politecnico di Milano)
