The role of electron-ion recombination in bulk antimatter production
Abstract
The difference between the recombination of electrons with atomic ions and molecular ions is outlined. Methods for studying recombination processes experimentally are described. A discussion is given of how electron ion recombination must be optimized in order to maximize the production of antimatter cluster ions.
