The formation of positive ions of antihydrogen (H+) via radiative attachment of free positrons (e+) to antihydrogen (H) is studied [1]. The attachment mechanisms considered include: (i) spontaneous radiative attachment in which an incident e+ is captured into the ground state of H+ via photo emission; (ii) induced radiative attachment in which H+ is formed due to photo emission induced by a laser field; (iii) two-center dileptonic attachment where an incident e+ is captured by H moving in a gas of matter atoms B and capture proceeds via resonant transfer of energy excess to B which becomes excited and then stabilizes via spontaneous radiative decay [2]. We compare these mechanisms with each other and show that (ii) and (iii) can strongly dominate over (i).
