The collision between positronium (Ps) and muonium (Mu)

Atomic Physics 2015-01-05 v1

Abstract

The collision between a positronium (Ps) and a muonium (Mu) is studied for the first time using the static-exchange model and considering the system as a four-center Coulomb problem in the center of mass frame. An exact analysis is made to find the s-wave elastic phase-shifts, the scattering-lengths for both singlet and triplet channels, the integrated/total elastic cross section and the quenching cross section due to ortho to para conversion of Ps and the conversion ratio.
