  • Identifying key material characteristics for optimal antimatter production.

Main Results:

  • Mesoporous materials demonstrate significant potential for antihydrogen formation at very low temperatures.
  • Materials like MCM-41 pellets and silica aerogel show promising results, with optimal pore sizes between 10-30 nm and hydrophobic surfaces.

Conclusions:

  • Mesoporous materials offer a promising avenue for advancing antimatter production.
  • Further characterization of mesoporous materials is required to identify ideal properties for efficient antimatter synthesis and fundamental studies.
