Title: Positronium scattering by atoms and molecules at low energies
(Submitted on 12 Sep 2001)
Abstract: The recent theoretical and experimental activities in positronium (Ps) scattering by atoms and molecules are reviewed with special emphasis at low energies. We critically compare the results of different groups $-$ theoretical and experimental. The theoretical approaches considered include the $R$-matrix and close-coupling methods applied to Ps-H, Ps-He, and Ps-Li scattering, and a coupled-channel approach with a nonlocal model-potential for Ps scattering by H, He, H$_2$, Ne, Ar, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Ps and for pickoff quenching in Ps-He scattering. Results for scattering lengths, partial, total and differential cross sections as well as resonance and binding energies in different systems are discussed.
