Positronium Hyperfine Splitting in Non-commutative Space at the Order $\alpha^6$

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

We obtain positronium Hyperfine Splitting owing to the non-commutativity of space and show that, in the leading order, it is proportional to θα6\theta \alpha^6 where, θ\theta is the parameter of non-commutativity. It is also shown that spatial non-commutativity splits the spacing between n=2n=2 triplet excited levels E(23S1)E(23P2)E(2^3S_1)\to E(2^3P_2) which provides an experimental test on the non-commutativity of space.
