Abstract | In the framework of the gravitational behaviour of antihydrogen at rest (GBAR) experiment, cross sections for the successive formation of and from collisions between positronium (Ps) and antiprotons ($\overline{p}$) have been computed in the range 0–30 keV $\overline{p}$ energy, using the continuum distorted wave-final state theoretical model in its three-body and four-body formulations. The effect of the electronic correlations in $\bar{H}^{+}$ on the total cross sections of $\bar{H}^{+}$ production has been studied using three different wave functions for H$^−$ (the matter equivalent of $\bar{H}^{+}$). Ps excited states up to $n_p = 3$, as well as $\bar{H}$ excited states up to $n_h = 4$, have been investigated. The results suggest that the production of can be efficiently enhanced by using either a fraction of Ps(2p) and a 2 keV ($\overline{p}$) beam or a fraction Ps(3d) and antiprotons with kinetic energy below 1 keV. |
