Abstract
Numerical study of the kinetics in metastable antiprotonic helium mole cules driven by a sequence of laser pi pulses resonant to the adjacent transitions is carried out. The phenomena taking place are shown to b e useful for checking the mechanisms of the depopulation of high-n sta tes, for measuring the populations of the individual energy levels, an d for slowing down the decay by means of pi-pulse-induced inversion.
