$$Xi^-$$ atomic X-ray spectroscopy is one of the most useful methods for investigation of the $$Xi$$-nucleus strong interaction. Since the X-ray energy is shifted and/or broadened due to the $$Xi$$-nucleus strong interaction compared to those calculated from electromagnetic interaction alone, the measurement of the energy shift, $$Delta$$E, and the width, $$Gamma$$, give us information on the $$Xi$$-nucleus potential. A serious problem in the measurement is the significant background derived from in-flight $$Xi^-$$ decay. A novel method of identifying stopped $$Xi^-$$ events using the nuclear emulsion was developed to realize the first $$Xi^-$$ atomic X-ray spectroscopy experiment as the J-PARC E07 experiment, which also aimed at searching for $$LambdaLambda$$ and $$Xi^-$$ hypernuclei in the emulsion. The X-rays emitted from $$Xi^-$$ Br and $$Xi^-$$ Ag atoms were measured using germanium detectors. No clear peaks were observed in the obtained spectra. However, we succeeded in reducing the background to 1/170 by this method employing coincidence measurements using nuclear emulsion and X-ray detectors.
