This PhD project in experimental physics at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam asks how the first antimatter molecule could be made by studying the fundamental collision between a proton and a hydrogen atom. The research sits in the NWO Vidi project SAMURAI and focuses on one of the simplest yet most important atomic processes: whether the pair can bind and emit a photon to form H 2 + , a key reaction connected to molecule formation in the early universe and to proposed routes toward antimatter chemis...
