Abstract

Stopping pions have been shown to excite the 126 keV level in a target of 55Mn. A nonlinear variation of yield of the γ-ray versus target thickness suggests that the principal mechanism responsible for the excitation is a two-stage process. The production mechanism for the same γ-ray seen elsewhere in kaonic atoms experiments is discussed.
