  3. The determination of the isospin dependent KN scattering lengths through a few percent measurement of the shift and the width of the Ka line of kaonic hydrogen and the first measurement of kaonic deuterium The objective of DEAR (Deser - Trueman)

  4. The implications of DEAR results A measurement of KN scattering lengths at the percent level would enable the determination of the KN sigma terms with a precision of about 20% or less, to be compared with the 70% uncertainty of the present estimates. Sigma terms are directly connected with the chiralsymmetry breaking part of the strong interaction Hamiltonian. Also, the fraction of strangeness content in proton can be derived with better accuracy from KN and pN sigma terms (Jaffe ‘87)

  7. g X-ray Charged particle Substrate Active depletion (30mm) How DEAR measures KH transitions: X-ray spectroscopic CCDs Charge-Coupled Devices are solid state detectors with a pixel structure. They are excellent detectors for soft X rays in the high background environment of a collider, for the powerful rejection capability (given by the topology of X-ray events -single pixels-), together with a very good energy resolution, high efficiency and large active area. Background suppression by single pixel selection

  8. Target and cryogenic setup layout

  9. Fiber-glass reinforced kapton target Operating conditions: 20 K, 3 bar (~40 bar NTP)

  10. CCD mounting, cryogenics and on-cell electronics Requirements: high compaction to allow optimal shielding and light materials to reduce Bremsstrahlung - fiberglass frames - cooling system mounted on the top - thin Al cold finger - reduced diameter of the socket group and, consequently, of the vacuum chamber

  11. DEAR shielding Pb walls Target Vacuum jacket shielding Pb platform e+ e- Interaction point Pb collimators Overall shielding factor of the DEAR interaction region ~ 100

  12. DAQ performance -Resolution and L.N. characteristics: · thermal noise FWHM of about 15 eV · energy resolution at 5.9 keV (Mn Ka line) 136 eV, charge transport correction not applied -Linearity: ~ 10-4 -Instability: below 4 eV/month -Charge transport inefficiency: ~10-6 -Synchronous readout of 16 large area detectors (CCD55-30) -Data flow 32¸64 MB/sec -Dual bus real-time system equipped with N.I. boards -Injection synchronization -Software dual slope integration
