Abstract

The long range interaction between an antiprotonic helium atom pˉ\bar{p}He+^+ and helium atom in its ground state is studied. We calculate the dispersion coefficients C6C_6 using the Complex Coordinate Rotation (CCR) formalism in order to comply with the resonant nature of metastable states of the antiprotonic helium. We present as well numerical data on static dipole polarizabilities of antiprotonic helium states. The obtained coefficients C6C_6 may be used to estimate the collisional shift and broadening of transition lines in a low density precision spectroscopy of the antiprotonic helium.
