From Positron to Positronium Scattering

  • Chapter
Supercomputing, Collision Processes, and Applications

Part of the book series: Physics of Atoms and Molecules ((PAMO))

  • 279 Accesses

Conclusions and Outlook

Collisions involving positron and positronium are contributing to the understanding of general atomic physics phenomena as well as illuminating specific processes and interactions such as annihilation and exchange. It is hoped that the considerable effort presently aimed towards the production of large ensembles of cold positrons86 will result in beams of extremely well defined energy (≤kT) which should enable the detailed study of near-threshold phenomena, resonances, annihilation and positronic compounds.
