PRODUCTION OF EXOTIC SYSTEMS IN-FLIGHT IN THE CHARGE-EXCHANGE REACTIONS

It is proposed to produce a number of exotic systems in the charge-exc hange reactions using overlapping storage rings as sources of initial particles. The high efficiency of this method is provided by using, in collisions, the appropriate ions and the absence of losses in the med ium due to in-flight production. The yields of the positronium, proton ium, antihydrogen and ions of the antiprotonic helium isoelectronic se quence are estimated and some possibilities for measurements on the be am of the produced particles are discussed.
