Relativistic Effects in Interatomic Ionization Processes and Formation of Antimatter Ions in Interatomic Attachment Reactions

Focusing on interatomic energy transfer phenomena, this book explores the dynamics of electron correlations in atomic physics. The first part delves into two ionization processes influenced by long-range electron interactions, highlighting relativistic effects. The second part applies these concepts to antimatter physics, specifically examining mechanisms for generating positive antihydrogen ions, which are crucial for upcoming free-fall experiments at CERN. This comprehensive study merges fundamental principles with practical applications in cutting-edge research.
