A review of a recent experiment carried out at PSI involving laser spectroscopy of metastable pionic helium (\pi{^4He}^+\equiv\pi^{-}+{^4He}^{2+}+e^-π4He+≡π−+4He2++e−) atoms is presented. An infrared transition (n,\ell)=(17,16)(n,ℓ)=(17,16)\rightarrow→(17,15)(17,15) at a resonance frequency of \nu\approx 183760ν≈183760 GHz was detected.

Laser spectroscopy of an antiprotonic helium ([Formula: see text]He+) atom, a neutral three-body Coulomb system consisting of an antiproton, a helium nucleus, and an electron has so far contributed to the determination of antiproton mass and charge to a precision of 10-8. Recently, we have succeeded in producing long-lived (τ [Formula: see text] 100 ns) antiprotonic helium ions (two-body system: [Formula: see text]He++). This was done by stopping ∼50 keV antiprotons decelerated by using an "inverse linac" (RFQD) in a very low-density helium gas target and selectively populating the ionic level by using laser tagging. It may be possible to use this two-body ion for future high-precision work.PACS Nos.: 36.10.–k, 34.90.+q, 25.43.+t

Recent progress on the precision laser spectroscopy of antiprotonic helium atoms, as well as on the x-ray spectroscopy of kaonic helium atoms are presented. These two may appear to be unrelated topics (except for the fact that both being exotic helium atoms), but in fact a past study of kaonic helium system led to the serendipitous discovery of antiprotonic helium. Some historical background connecting these two exotic helium atoms, as well as future prospects are discussed.
