TLDR
Simplified formulae for the capture of low-energy electrons by stationary protons are averaged over Maxwellian and "flattened" Maxwellian electron velocity distributions as discussed by the authors, which is more nearly appropriate for electron beams used in accelerator proton-beam cooling experiments.
Abstract
Simplified formulae for the capture of low-energy electrons by stationary protons are averaged over Maxwellian and "flattened" Maxwellian electron velocity distributions. The latter distribution is more nearly appropriate for electron beams used in accelerator proton-beam cooling experiments. Flattening increases the capture rate by a factor of about two. Similar formulae for the capture of antiprotons by protons are mentioned.

Electron cooling: Theory, experiment, application

Helmut Poth
- 01 Nov 1990 - 
TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of electron cooling can be found in this paper, where the authors present a comprehensive coverage of the subject and summarizes the present knowledge. And they discuss possible future developments and refinements of the method, as well as the application of the merged parallel-beam arrangement for atomic physics.

Storage ring at HIE-ISOLDE Technical design report

Manfred Grieser, +140 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed to install a storage ring at an ISOL-type radioactive beam facility for the first time, which can provide a capability for experiments with stored secondary beams that is unique in the world.

Laser-enhanced electron-ion capture and antihydrogen formation

TL;DR: In this paper, the electron-ion capture rate for low electron energies is calculated for various electron velocity distributions and the results are applied to electron cooling and to positron-antiproton recombination to form antihydrogen.

The route to ultra-low energy antihydrogen

TL;DR: In this paper, the concept and field of antimatter and how quantum mechanics and relativity led to its discovery were discussed and how neutral antimatter, in the form of anti-hydrogen, is a natural test bed for tests of CPT and the weak equivalence principle, and how cold antihydrogen can be formed by creating, trapping, cooling and combining antiprotons and positrons at a facility such as the antiproton decelerator at CERN.
