摘要
A novel type of guiding-center drift ion is described. These ions occur only in strong magnetic fields. They consist of a neutral atom to which either an electron or positron is weakly bound, at a sufficiently large radius that it may be described by E x B drift dynamics. Such ions may occur naturally in astrophysical plasmas and may have been formed in recent antihydrogen experiments, where their presence would provide proof that deeply bound (H) over bar atoms are being created.
