We study the bound states of relativistic hydrogen-like atoms cou-
pled to strong homogeneous magnetic fields, under the assumption of
an infinitely heavy nucleus. Working in the adiabatic approximation
in which the electron is confined to the lowest Landau level, we show
that the discrete spectrum is always non-empty and that, as the field
strength increases, its eigenvalues...

We propose an alternative to the usual time--independent Born--Oppenheimer
approximation that is specifically designed to describe molecules with
Hydrogen bonds. In our approach, the masses of the Hydrogen nuclei are scaled
differently from those of the heavier nuclei, and we employ
a specialized form for the electron energy level surface.
Consequently, anharmonic effects play a role in...

The field generated by a fixed proton and antiproton a distance R apart is a particular example of a dipole field. The existence or otherwise of bound states of an electron (or a positron) in such a field was originally studied by Fermi and Teller and Wightman [1-3] in the late forties. They showed that if R > 0.639 a_0, a bound state of the system existed but if R < 0.639 a_0, no bound states...

Experiments with low-energy antiprotons are currently performed at the antiproton Decelerator (AD) of CERN. The main focus of the three experimental collaboration is the study of fundamental symmetries, especially CPT invariance, using antiprotonic atoms and antihydrogen. The ASACUSA collaboration focusses on precision spectroscopy of antiprotonic helium, an exotic three-body system consisting...
