چکیده
The low-energy scattering of ortho positronium (Ps) by H, He, Ne, and Ar atoms has been investigated in the coupled-channel framework by using a recently proposed timereversal-symmetric nonlocal electron-exchange model potential with a single parameter C. For H and He we use a three-Ps-state coupled-channel model and for Ar and Ne we use a static-exchange model. The sensitivity of the results is studied with respect to the parameter C. Present low-energy cross sections for He, Ne and Ar are in good agreement with experiment.

Electron exchange model potential: Application to positronium-helium scattering
The neutral Ps beam provides a great deal of advantage over charged projectiles as a probe to study the structure of atoms, molecules and surface. Recently, there have been a great deal of interest in positronium(Ps-) atom scattering due to the improvement of Ps sources and Ps beams. Total scattering cross section of ortho Ps, which has a larger lifetime than para Ps, have been measured for var...

to lead to the correct result for the other three. The present model, which is constructed so as to reproduce the Ps-H resonance at 4.01 eV, automatically yields a Ps-H bound state at −1.05 eV which compares well with the accurate value of −1.067 eV. The model leads to a singlet scattering length of 3.72a0 and effective range of 1.67a0, whereas the correlations suggest the precise values of 3.5...

Scattering of positronium (Ps) by helium atom has been investigated in a three-Ps-state coupled-channel model including Ps(1s,2s,2p) states using a recently proposed time-reversal-symmetric regularized electron-exchange model potential. Specifically, we report results of differential cross sections for elastic scattering and target-elastic Ps excitations. We also present results for total and d...
