Some years have passed since the report of the first production of cold antihydrogen by the Athena Collaboration and the Atrap Collaboration at CERN, but no clear answer has been given about the roles of the two mechanisms responsible for antihydrogen formation. A new preliminary analysis of the data acquired by the Athena Collaboration in different experimental conditions seems to suggest that three-body recombination mechanism is dominant in the first tens of seconds of the overlapping of the injected antiproton cloud with the positron plasma in the nested Penning trap, while radiative capture starts to become dominant afterwards.

AbstractAn ion embedded in warm/hot dense plasmas will greatly alter its microscopic structure and dynamics, as well as the macroscopic radiation transport properties of the plasmas, due to complicated many-body interactions with surrounding particles. Accurate theoretically modeling of such kind of quantum many-body interactions is essential but very challenging. In this work, we propose an atomic-state-dependent screening model for treating the plasmas with a wide range of temperatures and densities, in which the contributions of three-body recombination processes are included. We show that the electron distributions around an ion are strongly correlated with the ionic state studied due to the contributions of three-body recombination processes. The feasibility and validation of the proposed model are demonstrated by reproducing the experimental result of the line-shift of hot-dense plasmas as well as the classical molecular dynamic simulations of moderately coupled ultra-cold neutral plasmas. Our work opens a promising way to treat the screening effect of hot and warm dense plasma, which is a bottleneck of those extensive studies in high-energy-density physics, such as atomic processes in plasma, plasma spectra and radiation transport properties, among others.

We show that the non-spherical charge distribution of the proton manifests itself in hydrogen hyperfine splitting as an increase (in absolute value) of the proton Zemach radius and polarization contributions.

The ASACUSA collaboration at CERN has previously measured the optical transition frequencies of antiprotonic helium to a precision of <1 part in 108 by laser spectroscopy. We describe some recent theoretical and experimental developmental work carried out by our collaboration to further improve the experimental precision.
