 Zusammenfassung (Deutsch) Am Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) wurden die hadronische Verschiebung ($\epsilon_ gef\"uhrt. Die von den gebildeten pionischen Wasser\-stoff-Atomen ausgesendeten R\"ontgen\-strahlen wurden an dem hochaufl\"osenden Kristallspektrometer reflektiert und schlie Zusammenfassung (Englisch) In a new high-precision experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), the hadronic shift ($\epsilon_ high-resolution crystal spectrometer onto a large area position-sensitive detector.\\ The instrumental response function was measured using narrow X-ray transitions from highly ionised atoms produced in an electron cyclotron resonance ion trap.\\ % The kinetic energy distribution of pionic atoms was approximated by a model using box-like distributions. This approach was verified in a measurement of the $3p o1s$ X-ray transition in muonic hydrogen ($\mu^-$p). Unlike pions, muons do not experience the strong interaction and thus, the line-shape of the emitted X-rays is very sensitive to Doppler-broadening.\\ % Together with the measured instrumental response function, this model for the kinetic energy distribution was used in an analysis method to extract \$\Gamma_
