“…For the yield calculations in hadronic atoms, it is customary to find the radiative widths by using the unperturbed atomic states usually in the non-relativistic limit [1]. However, it is known that the last observed X-rays in these atoms are significantly shifted in energy [2], indicating a strong distortion of the lowest atomic states which, in turn, effects the atomic radiative processes.…”

The electric dipole transition rates in kaonic atoms are calculated by using distorted relativistic wave functions. The kaon-nucleus strong interaction which is responsible for the distortion of atomic states is considered to be proportional to the nuclear density and the effective isospin-averaged kaon-nucleon scattering length. Six atoms have been studied for which the last observed X-rays correspond to 3d-2p, 4f-3d, 5g-4f, 6h -5g, 7i-6h and 8j-7i transitions. It is found that the electric dipole transition rate is enhanced by an amount (0.3-7.6)• 1013 s-i.
