Abstract

Making use of hyperspherical coordinates, the feature of the low-lying spectrum of a positronium molecule in a two-dimensional quantum well is investigated. The second bound state of a positronium molecule in a two-dimensional quantum well, with orbital angular momentum L = 1, is reported.

Making use of hyperspherical coordinates,we investigate the qualitative features of the ground and low- lying states of a positronium molecule confined in a two-dimensional(2D)space under a magnetic field.We find that a positronium molecule has more bound states in 2D than in 3D.With the increase of the magnetic field,the second bound state experiences a transition in angular momentum.The result shows that symmetry plays an essential role in the energy spectrum of low-lying states.

Annihilation of Positrons in Gases

Milton Heinberg, Lorne A. Page

The angular correlation of the two-photon annihilation of positrons annihilating in gases at high pressures demonstrates the two modes of decay---(1) from a bound state, positronium, and (2) from an unbound state---in all gases tested that have low-lying energy states. The increase in the narrow component in argon, plus suitable thermalizing gases, due to the application of a dc magnetic field obeys the theoretical increase due to the mixing of the $1^{1}S$ and $1^{3}S$ $m=0$ states. The increase in positronium formation due to the application of a dc electric field is observed. Preliminary evidence for the existence of $n=2$ states of positronium is seen.

Feature of Low-Lying States of a Planar Three-Boson System

Xie Wen

The energy spectrum of the low-lying states of a system of three charged bosons confined in a two- dimensional harmonic trap is investigated as a function of the confinement strength ωo by means of the exact diagonal- ization of the Hamiltonian.The important feature of the low-lying states of three charged bosons in two-dimensional space is obtained via an analysis of the energy spectrum.
