We present the hyperspherical close coupling calculation for the antihydrogen formation in low energy \bar p-Ps(n=2-10) collisions. The recently proposed diabatization procedure is used to drastically reduce the number of channels included in the calculations, thus makes the computation tractable. For low excited states our cross sections agree quite well with other theoretical results. Furthermore, the results indicate that the formation cross sections scale like n^4 and increase drastically at low collision energies.
