Abstract

The scientific program and the experimental setup of the DEAR (DAΦNE Exotic Atom Research) experiment at the new φ-factory DAΦNE of Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati are described. The objective of DEAR is to perform a 1% measurement of the Kα line shift due to the strong interaction in kaonic hydrogen. A measurement will also be performed on kaonic deuterium for the first time. The aim is to investigate low-energy K̄N physics and to understand SU(3) chiral symmetry breaking. The setup takes advantage of the unique features of the "kaon beam" from the φ decay in DAΦNE; of a low-temperature pressurized gaseous target; and of a detector for soft X-rays - the Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) - characterized by a very good energy (and spatial) resolution and by an unprecedented background rejection capability. The DEAR experiment represents a major effort in the study of low energy K̄N interactions and has the potential to produce a breakthrough in the field.
