Abstract
σ-hyperonic X-ray lines have been observed in 8 elements and their intensities as well as those of the accompaning kaonic X-ray lines have been determined. The σ-atomic cascade has been found to be similar to those of other exotic atoms. The production of σ− hyperons per stoppedK− has been measured by comparing their X-ray intensities. For the first time the intensity attenuation due to the strong absorptive σN interaction could be measured in four cases, and simple optical model calculations have been performed in order to reproduce the data.
