On the bound state of the antiproton-deuterium-tritium ion

Abstract

The properties of the weakly-bound $S(L=0)-$state in the $\bar{p}dt$ ion are investigated with the use of the results of highly accurate computations. The hyperfine structure splitting of this ion is investigated. We also evaluate the life-time of the $\bar{p}dt$ ion against the nuclear $(d,t)-$fusion and discuss a possibility to evaluate the corresponding annihilation rate(s).
