Abstract

Effects of the static electric field on the splitting and annihilation widths of the levels of antiprotonic hydrogen with a large principal quantum number (n=30) are studied. Non-trivial aspects of the consideration is related with instability of (pp)*-atom in ns and np-states due to coupling of these states with the annihilation channels. Properties of the mixed nl-levels are investigated depending on the value of external static electric field. Specific resonance-like dependence of effective annihilation widths on the strength of the field is revealed.
