Precision spectroscopy of positronium: Testing bound-state QED theory and the search for physics beyond the Standard Model

GS Adkins, DB Cassidy, J Pérez-Ríos - Physics Reports, 2022 - Elsevier
Positronium (Ps) is an exotic hydrogenic atom composed of an electron bound to a positron
via the Coulomb force. Being composed of two low-mass leptons, positronium is, for all …

Precision Microwave Spectroscopy of the Positronium Interval
