Abstract:
The attenuation due to the E2 nuclear resonance effect has been measured in hadronic atoms using pions with 111Cd and 112Cd, and for kaons with 122Sn. Energies of the relevant X-ray and γ-ray transitions and of the X-ray cascade intensities have also been measured so as to give a self-consistent set of information. The results are found to be in very good agreement with theoretical calculations.
