Abstract

SIDDHARTA collaboration performed the highest precision measurement of the shift and width of the kaonic hydrogen 1s state induced by the strong interaction at the DAΦNE collider of Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati. The result provides vital constraints on the theoretical description of the low-energy \({\bar{K} N}\) interactions.
