Positronium formation as a three-body reaction. I. The second-order positron-electron interaction amplitude Abstract. The annihilation parameters Z eff of positrons in xenon atoms are calculated. The elastic cross sections for positron scattering from Xe atoms reported at low energy, below positronium (Ps) formation threshold. The bound wavefunctions of electrons are generated from Cowan program. The least-squares variational method (LSVM ) is used for determining the scattering wavefunction. The present results of annihilation parameters and cross sections are consisted with simiemprical and other theoretical results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
