Mijnarends et al. [J. Phys. Condens. Matter {\bf 10}, 10383 (1998)] contested the best existing calculations of positron annihilation rates in jellium and crystal lattices, pointing in this way at deficiencies of existing theories of…

Rates of the two-, three-, four- and five-photon annihilations of the electron-positron pairs are determined numerically for the three-body positronium ion Ps$^-$ ($e^- e^+ e^-$) and four-body bi-positronium `molecule' Ps$_2$ ($e^- e^+ e^-…

The recently developed ab initio many-body theory of positron molecule binding [J. Hofierka et al., Nature, 606, 688 (2022)] is combined with the shifted pseudostates method [A. R. Swann and G. F. Gribakin, Phys. Rev. A 101, 022702 (2020)]…

This paper presents a new explanation of the width of gamma-ray spectra based on Rahm's electronegativity scale. This quantitatively proves, for the first time, that positrophilic electrons in the positron-electron annihilation process are…

Enhanced positron annihilation on polyatomic molecules is a long-standing and complex problem. We report the results of calculations of resonant positron annihilation on methyl halides. A free parameter of our theory is the positron binding…

This paper is devoted to study many-body effects in the positron annihilation experiment, both electron-positron (e-p) and electron-electron (e-e) correlations. Various theories of the e-p interaction in real solids were used to verify them…

Positron and electron cosmic rays provide a complementary way to study the galactic environment. The actual cosmic rays experiments, for instance PAMELA and HEAT, have presented very exciting results in this field. The observed positron…

Bound electron contribution to the Doppler-shift of gamma-ray spectra in the positron-electron annihilation process of molecular methane has been studied in gas phase. Two accurate ab initio quantum mechanical schemes, i.e. the delocalized…

Here we describe an advanced multi functional, variable-energy positron beam system capable of measuring the energies of multiple positron-induced electrons in coincidence with the Doppler-shifted gamma photon resulting from the…

The dominant mechanism of low-energy positron annihilation in polyatomic molecules is through positron capture in vibrational Feshbach resonances (VFR). In this paper we investigate theoretically the effect of anharmonic terms in the…

Positron annihilation in solid state matter can be utilized to detect and identify open-volume defects. The momentum distribution of the annihilation radiation is an important observable in positron-based measurements, and can reveal…

Positron annihilation radiation from the Galaxy has been observed by the OSSE, SMM and TGRS instruments. Improved spectral modeling of OSSE observations has allowed studies of the distribution of both positron annihilation radiation…

The annihilation parameters of positrons with electrons in different shells of Argon, Iron and Copper atoms are calculated below the positronium (Ps) formation thresholds. Quite accurate ab initio calculations of the bound state…

An accurate method to compute the annihilation rate in positronic systems by means of quantum Monte Carlo simulations is tested and compared with previously proposed methods using simple model systems. This method can be applied within all…

A many-body theory approach developed by the authors [Phys. Rev. A 70, 032720 (2004)] is applied to positron bound states and annihilation rates in atomic systems. Within the formalism, full account of virtual positronium (Ps) formation is…

The two-photon annihilation of a positron with an electron bound in the 1s state of a H-like ion is calculated within the fully relativistic QED framework. The interaction with the nucleus is treated nonperturbatively, thus allowing the…

Studies based on imaging the annihilation of the electron (e$^{-}$) and its antiparticle positron (e$^{+}$) open up several interesting applications in nuclear medicine and fundamental research. The annihilation process involves both the…

Calculations of the relaxation energy, contact pair-correlation function, and annihilating-pair momentum density for a single positron immersed in a homogeneous electron gas are presented. We achieve an accurate description of the…

In X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), the injected hole interacts with the electronic polarization cloud induced by the hole itself, ultimately resulting in a lower binding energy. Such polarization effect can shift the core-level…

Theoretical gamma-ray spectra of molecule hexane have been calculated and compared with the experimental results in both gas (Surko et al, 1997) and liquid (Kerr et al, 1965) phases. The present study reveals that in gas phase not all…
