Complete Results for Positronium Energy Levels at Ordermα6

Abstract
We have completed theoretical predictions for positronium energy levels through order mα6 by the calculation of the spin independent radiative recoil correction. This contribution is significant and amounts to 10.64 MHz for the 1S state. We further perform a detailed comparison of theoretical predictions to experimental results for 1S-2S and 2S-2P transitions. There is a serious discrepancy between previous theoretical results for the hfs of the ground state and with corresponding experiments. This problem remains to be resolved.
