Ionization of atomic hydrogen by antiproton impact

The ionization and excitation cross sections of atomic hydrogen with antiprotons are calculated using the close-coupling method, where the wave function is expanded by atomic states only on protons. The resulting total cross sections an in good convergence and in agreement with other calculations based on the close-coupling method with considerably large basis set. The angular distribution of ionized electrons is calculated by substituting the obtained wave function in the close-coupling method into the integral form of the transition amplitude. Above 100 keV, the angular distributions of ionized electrons are compared for proton- and anti-proton impacts.
