$(\tau^+\tau^-)_b$ is an atom of simple hydrogenlike structure similar to positronium $(e^+e^-)_b$ and $(\mu^+\mu^-)_b$. In this paper energy levels and decay widths of different decay channels of $(\tau^+\tau^-)_b$ are given. Cross section…
We assume all interaction to be Coulombic and solve the modified Faddeev equation for energies between the $Ps(n=2)$ and $\bar{H}(n=3)$, which involve six and eight open channels. We find that 99% of the antihydrogen are formed in…
Positronium (the bound state of electron and positron) has been thought to be formed after proton decay ($>10^{34}$yr) through collisional recombination and then decays by pair annihilation, thereby changing the matter content of the…
