Popis: The DAΦNE electron-positron collider at the Frascati National Laboratories has made available a unique “beam” of negative kaons. The SIDDHARTA (SIlicon Drift Detector for Hadronic Atom Research by Timing Application) experiment, successor of DEAR (DAΦNE Exotic Atom Research), aims at a precision measurement of the strong interaction shift and width of the fundamental 1s level, via the measurement of the x-ray transitions to this level, for kaonic hydrogen and kaonic deuterium. The final goal is to extract the isospin dependent antikaon-nucleon scattering lengths which contribute to the understanding of aspects of non-perturbative QCD in the strangeness sector. Other possible hadronic atoms measurements at DAΦNE are under study.
