Multichannel e^{\pm} scattering on excited Ps states
Abstract
Scattering and reaction cross sections of e^{\pm}-Ps system are calculated for total angular momentum L=0, 1 and 2 and energies between the Ps(n=2)-Ps(n=3) threshold. We solved a set of Faddeev-Merkuriev and Lippmann-Schwinger integral equations by applying the Coulomb-Sturmian separable expansion technique. We found that the excited positronium states play dominating roles in scattering processes.
