We report the rotationally resolved spectrum of a single polyatomic molecular ion in the gas phase. Building upon the recently developed inelastic recoil spectroscopy (IRS) technique, we have achieved a spectral resolution sufficient to…
The possibility of having positronium (Ps) physisorbed at a material surface is of great fundamental interest, since it can lead to new insight regarding quantum sticking and is a necessary first step to try to obtain a Ps$_2$ molecule on a…
A convenient form of kinetic equation is derived for pair annihilation of heavy stable particles relevant to the dark matter problem in cosmology. The kinetic equation thus derived extends the on-shell Boltzmann equation in a most…
Several first-principles calculations of positron-annihilation characteristics in solids have added gradient corrections to the local-density approximation within the theory by Arponen and Pajanne [Ann. Phys. (N.Y.) 121, 343 (1979)] since…
Positronium annihilation amplitudes that are computed by assuming a factorization approximation with on-shell intermediate leptons do not exhibit good analytical behaviour. Using dispersion techniques, we find new contributions that…
We report the first creation of a bulk sample of ultracold heteronuclear p-wave Feshbach molecules in an optically trapped Bose-Bose mixture of 23Na and 87Rb atoms. Using loss spectroscopy and binding energy measurements, we systematically…
Electron-positron annihilations at an average center-of-mass energy of 133 GeV from the four LEP-experiments are presented. This includes in particular the total cross-section and multiplicities, thrust, rapidity and transverse momentum…
Measuring the Doppler broadening of the positron annihilation radiation or the angular correlation between the two annihilation gamma quanta reflects the momentum distribution of electrons seen by positrons in the material.Vacancy-type…
We investigate the presence of Feshbach resonances in ultracold alkali-dialkali reactive collisions. Quantum scattering calculations are performed on a new Na_3 quartet potential energy surface. An analysis of scattering features is…
We have calculated all contributions to the energy levels of parapositronium at order $m \alpha^7$ coming from vacuum polarization corrections to processes involving virtual annihilation to two photons. This work is motivated by ongoing…
Positron annihilation experiments on an laboratory scale depend on the supply and the availability of $\beta^+$ emitters. Here we present the production of positron sources based on the $^{27}$Al(p,x)$^{22}$Na reaction by irradiation of Al…
We use a non-perturbative renormalization group approach to develop a unified picture of the Bose polaron problem, where a mobile impurity is strongly interacting with a surrounding Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). A detailed theoretical…
The space-borne antimatter experiment PAMELA has recently reported a surprising rise in the positron to electron ratio at high energies. It has also recently been found that electromagnetic radiative corrections in some cases may boost the…
Electron energy loss spectra have been measured on hexagonal boron nitride single crystals employing a novel electron energy loss spectroscopic set-up composed by an electron microscope equipped with a monochromator and an in-column filter.…
The strong corrections to the R-ratio of electron-positron annihilation into hadrons are studied at the higher-loop levels. Specifically, the essentials of continuation of the spacelike perturbative results into the timelike domain are…
In application to positron annihilation spectroscopy, Ps atom is considered not as a point particle, but as a finite size e+ e- pair localized in a bubble-state in a medium. Variation of the internal Coulombic e+ -e- attraction vs. the…
In the positron-electron annihilation process, finite deviations from the standard calculation based on the Fermi's Golden rule are suggested in recent theoretical work. This paper describes an experimental test of the predictions of this…
Decay rates of the positronium hydride PsH, a bound state of a proton, a positron, and two electrons, are determined for two rare channels, PsH $\to p^+ e^- \gamma$ and PsH $\to p^+ e^-$. Previous studies overestimated these rates by…
The excitation curve of e+e- annihilation into four charged pions in the rho(770) region is calculated using three existing models with rho mesons and pions in intermediate states supplemented by Feynman diagrams with the a_1(1260)pi…
We consider the electron-positron annihilation process into hadrons $R_{e^+e^-}$ up to $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_{s}^{3})$ and we adopt the smearing method suggest by Poggio, Quinn and Weinberg to confront the experimental data with theory. As a…
