Abstract
We have performed an accurate calculation of S-wave positron-hydrogen scattering at energies just above the Ps formation threshold, employing a variational method. The coupling schemes we considered for the calculation were 1sH-1sPs, 1sH-2sH-1sPs, 1sH-2sH-1sPs-2sPs, 1sH-2sH-2pH-1sPs, 1sH-2sH-2pH-1sPs-2sPs and 1sH-2sH-2pH-1sPs-2sPs-2pPs. We could not find in our elastic cross sections the two adjacent resonances that Sarkar et al. (1993) reported to exist in this energy region.
