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 analyzed. Nuclear density distributions at the extreme nuclear surface are calculated and tested against the experimental results. © 1996 The American Physical Society.
