Abstract
A method for producing antihydrogen,\(\bar H\), by positronium-antiproton collisions is described. Included are the calculated capture cross sections, and short descriptions of the electrostatic slow positron beam, positronium-formation, and the antiproton ion trap to be used for antihydrogen production. With present available technology, collimated monoenergetic\(\bar H\) beams with an energy of a few keV and an intensity in the order of one per second can be produced by this method. Possible enhancements of this rate are discussed.
