TLDR
In this article, the effect of laser-stimulated transitions on the rate of radiative electron-ion recombination, considering in particular merged beams of electrons and protons or highly charged ions, is discussed.Abstract:
In this paper, we shall discuss the effect of laser-stimulated transitions on the rate of radiative electron-ion recombination, considering in particular merged beams of electrons and protons or highly charged ions. We shall present theoretical predictions concerning the spontaneous and stimulated recombination rates and discuss the limitation of the stimulated rate by photoionization. The emphasis in this discussion will be on transitions into Rydberg states, which play an important role especially for recombination involving highly charged ions. Recent experiments demonstrating laser-stimulated recombination in merged electron and proton beams will be reviewed and a perspective of future experiments will be given.read more

Laser-stimulated formation and stabilization of antihydrogen atoms
TL;DR: In this article, laser-stimulated radiative transitions from states close to the ionization threshold to low-lying atomic levels are considered for protons (antiprotons) in a cold electron (positron) plasma and estimates for the resulting formation rate of hydrogen (antihydrogen) atoms in the ground state are given.
