Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We have developed a coupled-rearrangement-channel method allowing the rigorous non-adiabatic treatment of the multi-channel scattering problem for four particles. We present the study of the binding, resonant and collisional properties of the (H) over bar -Ps system with the total angular momentum J = 0(+) (singlet positronic configuration). The binding energy, the life-times of the resonant states and the collisional cross sections are calculated and discussed. We present the preliminary cross sections for the elastic and inelastic (H) over bar -Ps scattering, notably for the excitation of Ps and for the rearrangement reaction producing the (H) over bar (+) ions.

- Hyperfine structure splittings are calculated for the J = v = 1 state of the dtμ molecule. The splittings are determined by the accurate three-body wave function obtained by coupled rearrangement channel method using the updated physical constants. The result obtained is in good agreement with the previous calculation within ∼0.07 meV. The discrepancy is due to the accuracy of the three-body wave function.

Resonances in Three-Body Systems

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Three particles interacting via Coulomb forces represent a fundamental problem in quantum mechanics with no known exact solution. We have investigated resonance states composed of three particles interacting via Coulombic and more general potentials in non-relativistic quantum mechanics, using the complex scaling method. Our calculations have been applied to three different systems.(i) An investigation of resonances in the positron-alkali (Li, Na, K) systems has been conducted. Some calculations have previously been reported on the resonances in positron-alkali systems; however, most of the work was limited to the lower partial wave, such as S-wave resonances. In this thesis, we have extended the calculations to higher partial waves and extracted the resonance positions and widths using the more accurate complex scaling method. A dipole series of resonances has been found under positronium n = 2 threshold, for natural parity and n = 3 threshold for unnatural parity states. Furthermore, these resonances were found to agree well with an analytically derived scaling law. This series in the positron-alkali system are caused by the attractive potential formed by the dipole moment of positronium (the bound state of an electron and a positron). This dipole moment is a hydrogen-like system, and hence its energy levels are degenerate with respect to orbital angular momentum. We have also predicted several new resonances.(ii) A calculation of resonances in positron-hydrogen scattering, which shows that we can represent this system with the accuracy needed for future scattering calculations. Such cross sections are of interest since this is a way to form anti-hydrogen.(iii) A search for possible resonances in the pµe system, which has been suggested as a possible reason for unexpected results from a recent measurement of the proton radius in muonic hydrogen. We have ruled out the possibility of such resonances.In all calculations we used the Couple Rearrangement Channel Method, where the wave function is represented by Gaussians expressed in Jacobi coordinates. Thus effects due to mass polarization are automatically.

- Ground and resonance states of PsH are calculated with a coupled rearrangement-channel, four-body calculation. The structures of these states are examined with help of correlation functions and probabilities of finding two-body states in the total wavefunction. Asymptotic configurations of the ground and resonance states are determined from the tail behaviour of the correlation functions.

- We report a theoretical calculation for the bound and S-wave resonance states of the positronic copper atom (e(+) Cu). A positron is a positively charged particle; therefore, a positronic atom has an attractive correlation between the positron and electron. A Gaussian expansion method is adopted to directly describe this correlation as well as the strong repulsive interaction with the nucleus. The correlation between the positron and electron is much more important than that between electrons in an analogous system of Cu-, although the formation of a positronium (Ps) in e(+) Cu is not expressed in the ground state structure explicitly. Resonance states are calculated with a complex scaling method and identified above the first excited state of the copper atom. Resonance states below Ps (n = 2) + Cu+ classified to a dipole series show agreement with a simple analytical law. Comparison of the resonance energies and widths of e(+) Cu with those of e(+) K, of which the potential energy of the host atom resembles that of e(+) Cu, reveals that the positions of the resonance for the e(+) Cu dipole series deviate equally from those of e(+) K.

- We overview our recent calculations of scattering cross sections of positronium–antihydrogen collisions. We discuss the cross sections calculated in the vicinity of the four-body resonances of H¯Ps and above the energy threshold for the formation of the antihydrogen positive ions (H¯+). In the former energy region where a Rydberg series of resonances dominated by the H¯+-e− interaction appears, we show a good agreement between the resonant profiles in the cross sections and the resonance energies calculated by the complex coordinate rotation method. H¯+ production cross sections near the threshold energy are reported for the positronium being initially in the (n, l) states with n≤3, together with all competing elastic/inelastic cross sections. Comparison of our results with the latest continuum distorted wave final state calculation is presented. A qualitative discrepancy concerning the dependence of cross sections on the angular momentum of Ps is indicated.

- We have performed a comprehensive numerical investigation of the scattering of antihydrogen (H¯) and positronium (Ps) atoms, at collision energies just above the threshold for the rearrangement reaction resultingin H¯ + ions. Formation of H¯ + in H¯ + Ps collisions is of vivid interest for experiments with H¯ at CERN. We treat all open channels below the threshold for the rearrangement into H¯ + Ps (which includes elastic scattering, excitation and deexcitation of positronium to and from the excited states with n = 2, 3, polarization and depolarization of Ps(n, l), rearrangement into H¯ + + e−, and formation of Ps and H¯ in the reverse reaction). Our method is a combination of the variational calculation with the coupled rearrangement channel method. The four-body solutions of the Schrödinger equation, obtained via diagonalization of the full Hamiltonian, are combined with the channel functions that satisfy the correct asymptotic boundary conditions, in a procedure that delivers the scattering matrix S. The complete set of S-matrix elements for all allowed scattering processes is calculated (both in forward and reverse directions, without assumption of the detailed balance). The scattering cross sections are obtained from the S-matrix elements calculated for the total angular momenta J = 0–6, and for the positronic spin S = 0, required for the formation of H¯ +. The numerical accuracy of the calculation is checked using the criterion of unitarity of the S matrix. Convergence of the cross section is examined with respect to the partial wave contributions, under the constraint of conservation of total angular momentum and parity. We show that the energy behavior of the cross sections near thresholds is consistent with the Wigner laws. The cross sections for processes that compete with H¯ + formation are presented.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Near-threshold production of antihydrogen ion (H+) in positronium-antihydrogen collisions is predicted by a rigorous four-body scattering calculation. The convergence of the cross sections for the rearrangement and for all competing reactions (elastic scattering, de/excitation and de/polarization of positronium) is carefully examined against partial waves. The multi-channel scattering solutions are composed of functions that diagonalize the four-body Hamiltonian, and scattering functions that satisfy the correct asymptotic boundary conditions. The production rates of H+ show large discrepancies compared to more approximate calculations.
