MATTER-ANTIMATTER REACTION

带负电荷的反质子在与原子或分子的碰撞中可以与原子核形成反质子原子。反质子原子具有很长的抗湮灭寿命，因此可以看作是稳定的原子系统。我开发了一种新的计算技术，成功地对反质子原子的形成过程进行了完整的量子力学研究。

An antiproton, which has a negative charge, can form with a nucleus an antiprotonic atom in its collisions with atoms or molecules. The antiprotonic atoms can have a long lifetime against annihilation, and hence can be regarded as a stable atomic system. Developing a new computational technique, I succeeded at making a complete quantum mechanical study of the formation process of the antiprotonic atoms.
