Antiprotonic studies of nuclear neutron haloes

Abstract

Nuclear capture of antiprotons from atomic states is studied. Partial widths for single nucleon capture events leading to cold residual nuclei are calculated. Recent CERN experiments that compare the neutron and proton captures are analysed. Nuclear density distributions at extreme nuclear surface are calculated and tested against the experimental results.
