Annihilation spectra are presented for aromatic and heterocyclic ring molecules resolved as a function of incident positron energy using a trap-based positron beam. Comparisons with the vibrational mode spectra yield positron-molecule…
When recent experimental positronium (Ps) formation cross sections in noble gases have been compared with the most up-to date theoretical studies, the agreement is qualitative, but not quantitative. In this paper we re-examine this process…
Ground-state two-proton (2p) radioactivity is a decay mode found in isotopes of elements with even atomic numbers located beyond the two-proton drip line. So far, this exotic process has been experimentally observed in a few light and…
Positronium spectroscopy (n=1 hyperfine splitting, n=2 fine structure, and the 1S-2S interval) has reached a precision of order 1 MHz. Vigorous ongoing efforts to improve the experimental results motivate the calculation of the positronium…
Predicted twenty years ago, positron binding to neutral atoms has not yet been observed experimentally. A new scheme is proposed to detect positron-atom bound states by colliding Rydberg positronium (Ps) with neutral atoms. Estimates of the…
The comparison of different models (the Ore, spur and blob models) of positronium (Ps) formation is presented. Because in molecular media Ps is formed in the terminal positron blob and not in an ordinary spur, the application of the blob…
We investigate the quenching of the photoluminescence (PL) from the divacancy defect in 4H-SiC consisting of a nearest-neighbour silicon and carbon vacancies. The quenching occurs only when the PL is excited below certain photon energies…
The pp -> pp gamma reaction has been measured at a beam energy of 310 MeV by detecting both final protons in the PROMICE-WASA facility and identifying a missing-mass peak. For those events where the pp excitation is less than 3 MeV, the…
The present theoretical work addresses the study of the formation of a positive Antihydrogen ion in a single charge exchange reaction where a positronium ( ground or excited state) interacts with a ground state anti-hydrogen atom, being…
The dielectric properties of La$_{1-x}$Sr$_{1+x}$MnO$_4$ single crystals with x = 0, 0.125, 0.25, and 0.5 were studied by means of electron energy-loss spectroscopy as a function of temperature and momentum transfer. A clear signature of…
A search for exclusive or semi-exclusive photon pair production, pp to p(*) + photon pair + p(*) (where p(*) stands for a diffractively-dissociated proton), and the observation of exclusive and semi-exclusive electron pair production, pp to…
The two-photon positron annihilation density matrix is found to separate into a diagonal center of energy factor implying maximally entangled momenta, and a relative factor describing decay. For unknown positron injection time, the…
In this study, a fully self-consistent method was developed to obtain the wave functions of the positron and electrons in molecules simultaneously. The wave function of a positron at room temperature , with a characteristic energy of…
We report on a kinematically complete measurement of double ionization of helium by a single 1100 eV circularly polarized photon. By exploiting dipole selection rules in the two-electron continuum state, we observed the angular emission…
We report an ab initio study on the rovibronic spectroscopy of the closed-shell diatomic molecule phosphorous mononitride, PN. The study considers the nine lowest electronic states, $X\,{}^{1}\Sigma^{+}$, $A\,{}^{1}\Pi$,…
Novel equations for the electric dipole polarizability $\alpha_{_{E1}}$ of low-lying excited states in atomic nuclei -- and the related $(-2)$ moment of the total photo-absorption cross section, $\sigma_{_{-2}}$ -- are inferred in terms of…
We observed electron-positron pairs from the electro-magnetically forbidden M0 transition depopulating the 21.01 MeV 0$^-$ state in $^4$He. A peak was observed in their $e^+e^-$ angular correlations at 115$^\circ$ with 7.2$\sigma$…
The motional electric field experienced by an H2+ ion moving in a magnetic field induces an electric dipole, so that one-photon dipole transitions between rovibrational states become allowed. Field induced spontaneous decay rates are…
The quantum mechanics of two-electron systems is reviewed, starting with the ground state of the helium atom and helium-like ions, with central charge $Z\ge 2$. For Z=1, demonstrating the stability of the negative hydrogen ion, H$^-$,…
Positronium and muonium, as purely leptonic atoms without internal structure, provide ideal systems for high-precision tests of quantum electrodynamics (QED) and measurements of fundamental constants. However, the high velocities of these…
