The hyperfine structure splittings are determined for the lowest bound state in the positron-helium ion
e+[3He
(23S)] and
e+[4He
(23S)]. In particular, we have fond that for the
e+[3He
(23S)] ion one can observe the three following hyperfine structure splittinings: 5824.3986
MHz, 76466.5308
MHz and 5824.4019
MHz. In the
e+[4He
(23S)] ion only one hyperfine structure splitting 82963.0427
MHz can be observed. All these values can be measured in modern experiments.
The $({e}^{\ensuremath{-}},{e}^{+})$-pair annihilation is considered in the positron-helium
e+[He(23S)] four-body ion, in which the positron forms a bound state with the helium atom in its lowest triplet state [i.e., in the
23S(L=0) state]. A number of bound-state properties of this system have been determined for the
e+[He(23S)] ions, where the $^{\ensuremath{\infty}}\mathrm{He}$,
4He, and
3He helium nuclei are considered. Some applications related to the positron annihilation in the
e+[He(23S)] ion are also discussed.
