Recent experimental investigations of atomic x rays in protonium have revived interest in the atomic cascade process. Following a calculation of Leon and Bethe, which includes chemical and Auger deexcitation, Stark mixing and annihilation, as well as radiative transitions, we investigate the dependence of the yields of K and L x rays on the target density, and on the hadronic shifts and widths of the 1s and 2p levels. Numerical results are also given for kaonic, pionic, and muonic hydrogen.
