What Are the Best Resources for Antimatter Research in Computational Physics?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the search for resources related to antimatter research in computational physics, specifically focusing on the formation of antimatter molecules like hydrogen-antihydrogen. The user is in their final year of a BSc program and seeks advanced textbooks that cover the history and science of antimatter, including concepts such as CPT invariance. Frank Close's book 'Antimatter' is noted as a good starting point, but the user finds other available literature either too simplistic or overly specialized. Recommendations for more comprehensive and relevant materials are requested.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of CPT invariance in particle physics
  • Familiarity with computational physics methodologies
  • Basic knowledge of antimatter and its properties
  • Experience with academic research and literature review
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advanced physics textbooks that cover antimatter and CPT invariance
  • Explore review papers on the formation of antimatter molecules
  • Investigate computational techniques used in antimatter research
  • Look for academic journals focused on particle physics and antimatter studies
USEFUL FOR

Students in physics, researchers in computational physics, and anyone interested in advanced antimatter research and its implications in particle physics.

I was hoping someone here could give me some direction with regards to books or review papers. I'm in my final year of my BSc doing a computational project on looking at the formation of antimatter molecules before they annihilate, e.g. a hydrogen-antihydrogen molecule. The computational bit is fairly straightforward but I'm struggling to find a textbook that explains in detail the history of antimatter research or the science, e.g. that includes CPT invariance. (I guess what I'm looking for will probably be in a subsection of an advanced physics textbook, but I haven't found much in particle physics books and my library isn't well stocked.) I have Frank Close's 'Antimatter' book which is good as a starting point. But the few other books I've seen online are too populist and all talk about Star Trek. I've tried to find papers, but most are so specific or so advanced, I can't understand much and I can't even tell if its relevant. If anyone could recommend books or papers I'd be very grateful.

Off hand I'm dubious as to the possibility of forming a molecule of hydrogen and anti-hydrogen.
