Abstract

The phenomenon of delayed annihilation of antiprotons in helium is the first instance of a naturally occurring trap for antimatter in ordinary matter. Recent studies of this effect at CERN are summarised, and plans are described for laser excitation experiments to test its interpretation in terms of metastable exotic helium atom formation.
