Abstract

We report a reanalysis of our p¯ x-ray data from Pb and U for fine-structure splitting and have included perturbations to the p¯-atomic energy levels arising from radiative corrections, relativistic effects, electron screening, finite nuclear size, and nuclear recoil. The value for the antiproton magnetic moment is -2.817 ± 0.048 nuclear magnetons which is 0.1% lower than our previous result and in agreement with the CPT prediction of -2.793. In addition we have obtained a value for the p¯ mass from the measured p¯Pb x-ray transition energies from n=15 to n=10 The resulting mass 938.30 ± 0.13 MeV is in good agreement with the CPT prediction that the p¯ mass should equal the proton mass. We find mpmp¯=0.02±0.13 MeV.
