受限正电子素的自湮没

Self annihilation of confined positronium

A. R. Swann, D. G. Green, G. F. Gribakin

摘要:

在三个近似水平下研究了约束对正电子偶素自湮没率的影响。人工限制的电子-正电子分离导致的湮灭率超过其真空值的增加,这种增加被发现以指数方式减少的最大分离增加。在硬壁球形空腔中,质心在整个空腔中自由移动,这种限制也会增加湮灭率,超过其真空值;这种增加与质心的位置关系不大,当质心靠近空腔壁时,这种增加会更大。最后,为了模拟微孔材料的孔中的限制,硬壁被物理激发的电子和正电子壁势代替;发现湮灭速率大于其真空值,这与Marlotti Tanzi等人[Phys.Rev.Lett. 116,033401(2016)],其假设电子的硬壁限制和实验数据。

英文摘要:

The effect of confinement on the self-annihilation rate of positronium is studied in three levels of approximation. Artificial restriction of the electron-positron separation leads to an increase in the annihilation rate over its vacuum value; this increase is found to diminish exponentially as the maximum separation is increased. Confinement in a hard-wall spherical cavity with the center of mass free to move throughout the cavity also increases the annihilation rate over its vacuum value; the increase depends weakly on the position of the center of mass, being larger when the center of mass is near the cavity wall. Finally, to model confinement in a pore of a microporous material, the hard wall is replaced by physically motivated electron- and positron-wall potentials; it is found that the annihilation rate is larger than its vacuum value, in contradiction to calculations of Marlotti Tanzi et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 033401 (2016)] that assumed hard-wall confinement for the electrons, and experimental data.
