Description

The X-ray spectrum associated with K- stopping in liquid hydrogen was measured with high resolution Si(Li) detectors. The total K X-ray yield is not larger than 8 x 10-4 per stopped K- assuming no line broadening. A weak line pattern was found, which was tentatively ascribed to the K- H K-series X-rays. The shift and width of the 1s level, deduced from this pattern are epsilonsub(1s) = +270 +- 80 eV and GAMMA = 560 +- 260 eV, respectively. (orig.)
