Abstract
A systematic experimental study of strong interaction shifts, widths, and yields from high-Z kaonic atoms is reported. Strong interaction effects for the K-(8→7) transition were measured in U, Pb, and W, and the K-(7→6) transition in W was also observed. This is the first observation of two measurably broadened and shifted kaonic transitions in a single target and thus permitted the width of the upper state to be determined directly, rather than being inferred from yield data. The results are compared with optical-model calculations.
