Abstract
The yields of the atomic 4→3 transitions in antiprotonic14N,16,17,18O,19F, and23Na were measured at the CERN antiproton facility, LEAR. From these, the widths Γup of the 4f levels were determined to be 136±19meV (14N); 603±22 meV (16O); 731±35 meV (17O); 795±23 meV (18O); 2.79±0.16 eV (19F); and 23.8±7.4 eV (23Na).
