Abstract
This paper discusses the level splitting of the antiprotonic helium atomcule, an exotic atom consisting of a helium nucleus, an electron, and an antiproton which occupies highly excited states with angular momentum of L ≈ 30–35. The observation of a splitting in a laser transition between two levels is presented, and an experiment in preparation at the forthcoming AD facility at CERN is described which aims at directly measuring the level splitting by using a 2-laser microwave triple resonance technique. This experiment has the potential to determine the magnetic moment of the antiproton with higher precision than currently known.
