Self annihilation of confined positronium

A. R. Swann, D. G. Green, G. F. Gribakin

The effect of confinement on the self-annihilation rate of positronium is studied in three levels of approximation. Artificial restriction of the electron-positron separation leads…

Effect of chlorination on positron binding to hydrocarbons: experiment and theory

A. R. Swann, G. F. Gribakin, J. R. Danielson +3

Measured and calculated positron binding energies are presented for a range of hydrocarbons with up to six carbon atoms (viz., methane, acetylene, ethylene, ethane, propane, butane…

Effect of molecular constitution and conformation on positron binding and annihilation in alkanes

A. R. Swann, G. F. Gribakin

The model-potential approach previously developed by the authors to study positron interactions with molecules is used to calculate the positron binding energy for -alkanes (C$_…

Calculations of positron binding and annihilation in polyatomic molecules

A. R. Swann, G. F. Gribakin

A model-potential approach to calculating positron-molecule binding energies and annihilation rates is developed. Unlike existing ab initio calculations, which have mostly been app…
