Abstract

Antiprotonic x-ray spectra of Mo92, Mo94, Mo95, Mo98, and Mo100 have been measured with Ge detectors. The E2 nuclear-resonance effect was observed for the first time in p atoms, yielding information on the "hidden" n=5, l=4 level of the p-molybdenum atom. Strong interaction widths and shifts affecting the 7 6 transition were determined and the effective p-nucleon scattering length was deduced. A unique strong-coupling effect was established in p-Mo100.
