Spectrum of emitted muonic characteristic X-rays emitted from muonic neon atoms.(a) Muonic characteristic X-rays emitted from muonic neon atoms appearing around 6300 eV at a neon gas target pressure of 0.1 atm. This peak is formed by the superposition of six different transitions. The peak energy was determined to an accuracy of 0.002% by fitting with respect to each contribution. (b) The residuals (difference between theoretical and measured values) from the fitting. The residuals are sufficiently small, indicating that the fitting was done with high accuracy.
