Abstract
We report measurements of the angular distribution of positronium formed by charge exchange of monoenergetic positrons in molecular hydrogen for various incident positron energies. These data are compared with recent calculations of Ps formation in H2. The implications of these results for the formation and potential utility of energetic positronium beams are discussed.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
