Funded Activity Summary
Antihydrogen formation. This project aims to advance fundamental understanding of collisions involving antimatter. The dominance of matter over antimatter in the Universe is one of the most intriguing questions of today’s science. Researchers at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) are addressing this question by creating antihydrogen and studying its properties, including the gravitational behaviour. By trapping and cooling antihydrogen positive ions, ultra-cold antihydrogen atoms can be created and used in free fall experiments at CERN. The convergent close-coupling method and threshold theory will be used to provide the necessary theoretical guidance for the experimental antihydrogen positive ion formation via low-energy positronium-antiproton and positronium-antihydrogen collisions.Funded Activity Details
