The high resolution spectroscopy of the Balmer α transitions of
the antiprotonic hydrogen isotopes has been performed at LEAR. The antiproton
beam was stopped using the cyclotron trap at a gas pressure of 20 mbar
and the X-rays were measured with a high resolution Bragg crystal spectrometer.
For the first time, the strong interaction shift and broadening of the
23P0 hyperfine state in protonium could be observed. The results support
the meson-exchange models describing the medium and long range part of the
nucleon-antinucleon interaction. The observation of the strong interaction
effects in the 2p level of antiprotonic deuterium allows the direct comparison
of the two elementary antiprotonic systems.
