Abstract
The effect of wave-function mixing in antiprotonic helium is discussed. This effect manifests itself in a considerable change of the Auger decay rate of long-lived states of 3,4He\(\bar {\mathcal{p}}\)e. Properties of short-lived states which influence the decay rate of long-lived ones are described. It is proposed to observe these short-lived states in a direct experiment.
