Oi. Kartavtsev et In. Meshkov, METHOD OF IN-FLIGHT PRODUCTION OF EXOTIC SYSTEMS IN CHARGE-EXCHANGE REACTIONS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 391(1), 1997, pp. 221-223
An efficient method for the production of exotic systems in charge-exc
hange reactions is proposed. In this method the reactions take place i
n-flight in the overlapping area of two particle beams. Advantages of
this method are large cross sections of the charge exchange reactions,
and the absence of losses and interaction with the medium. The produc
tion of positronium, protonium antihydrogen and ions of the antiproton
ic helium isoelectronic sequence is considered, possible yields are es
timated and some problems of measurement on the beam of the produced p
articles are discussed.
