Abstract Absolute pionic x-ray intensities have been measured for Mg and Fe. The accuracy achieved was 2% of the line intensity for the most prominent transitions. In the Balmer series of Mg and the Paschen series of Fe the crossover transitions were found to be even more attenuated than the transitions between circular states, as deduced, for example, by comparison with muonic atoms; no crossover transitions were observed in the Fe Balmer series. According to cascade calculations based on the experimental intensities more than half of the pions are absorbed in Fe already from levels with principal quantum numbern〉17 by strong interaction.
