Whether in the Standard Model or beyond it, neutrinos contribute to the invisible decay mode of orthopositronium but practically not at all to that of parapositronium. Although this remark does not resolve the orthopositronium decay puzzle,…

In living organisms the positron-electron annihilation (occurring during the PET imaging) proceeds in about 30% via creation of a metastable ortho-positronium atom. In the tissue, due to the pick-off and conversion processes, over 98% of…
