As noticed in Ref.[1], the Ore-Powell's classical calculation of the o-Ps -> 3 gamma decay amplitude does not fulfill Low's theorem requirements for the low energy end of the photon spectrum. We reanalyze the implications of Low's theorem…
The orthopositronium decay to three photons is studied in the phase-space region where one of the photons has an energy comparable to the relative three-momentum of the e+e- system (w ~ m alpha). The NRQED computation in this regime shows…
