Low temperature hydrogen-antihydrogen scattering

Description

In view of current interest in the trapping of antihydrogen (H-bar) atoms at low temperatures [Phys. Rep. 241 (1994) 65; Nucl. Phys. B (Proc. Suppl.) 56A (1997) 338; Rep. Prog. Phys. 62 (1999) 1], we have carried out a four-body variational calculation for s-wave hydrogen-antihydrogen scattering using the Kohn variational method. The aim is to obtain cross-sections for the scattering processes involved. This is a continuation of earlier work on H-H-bar interactions [Nucl. Instr. and Meth. B 143 (1998) 218; J. Phys. B 31 (1998) L679; Int. J. Quant. Chem. 74 (1999) 645]
