Antiprotonic atoms with heavy nuclei

Abstract Experimental results on X-rays in antiprotonic Te, Sm, and Pt isotopes are presented. Attenuation of some lines due to the dynamic E2 mixing with nuclear rotational excitations was observed. The results are analyzed in terms of the p optical potential. Some effects of deformation are discussed. Previous findings such as a strong ls potential and the density dependence of the optical potential are confirmed.
