| Research Abstract |
An antiproton, which has a negative charge, can form with a nucleus an antiprotonic atom in its collisions with atoms or molecules. The antiprotonic atoms can have a long lifetime against annihilation, and hence can be regarded as a stable atomic system. Developing a new computational technique, I succeeded at making a complete quantum mechanical study of the formation process of the antiprotonic atoms.
