We study ionization processes of atomic hydrogen by antiproton impact in the energy range of 0.1-500 keV by the close-coupling method based on the B-spline expansion. Superposition of piecewise B-spline functions enables us to express the continuum wave functions more flexibly than the traditional pseudostate representation, in which overall functions such as the Sturmian are used for the expansion. The present expansion also remedies the defect of the traditional one-center expansion that the ionization cross section is underestimated at low energies owing to the finite range of the pseudostates. Our ionization cross sections agree excellently with recent two-center calculations at all the energies. The electron probability densities are also presented in both the coordinate and the momentum spaces.
