Remarks on an experimental study of the formation and decay of the pbarHe+ atomcule

Recently, data on (p) over bar annihilation at rest on gaseous He-4 at 3 bar, collected by the Obelix Experiment at LEAR, were used to infer information on the formation and decay of the (p) over bar He+ molecule. The straightforward interpretation of these data in terms of significant physical signals does not seem justified in the light of previous experimental information published by the Obelix Collaboration.
