Description

Poster is presented on CTMC simulation and antihydrogen level population calculation results. Ref: Phys. Rev. A 90, 032704 (2014)

Summary

Antihydrogen production has reached such a level that precision spectroscopic measurements of its properties are within reach. In particular, the ground-state level population is of central interest for experiments aiming at antihydrogen spectroscopy. The positron density and temperature dependence of the ground-state yield is a result of the interplay between recombination, collisional, and radiative processes. Considering the fact that antihydrogen atoms with the principal quantum number n=15 or lower quickly cascade down to the ground state within 1 ms, the number of such states is adopted as a measure of useful antihydrogen atoms. It has been found that the scaling behavior of the useful antihydrogen yield is different depending on the positron density and positron temperature.
