Description
The low-energy QCD, the theory within the Standard Model describing the strong interaction, is still missing fundamental experimental results to achieve a breakthrough in its understanding. Among these experimental results, kaonic atoms X-ray spectroscopy represents a unique laboratory for the study of the antikaon-nucleon/nuclei interaction at threshold energy, with important consequences going from particle and nuclear physics to astrophysics (neutron stars and their equation of state).
Combining the excellent quality of the low-energy kaon beam delivered by the DA
I will introduce the scientific case, the experiment and the results concerning various measurements of kaonic atoms, such as helium-4 and neon. Finally, I will outline the prospects for the ongoing kaonic deuterium measurement and our future plans.
