Progress towards laser spectroscopy of atomic and molecular positronium
Abstract
The production of molecular positronium and the existence of excited states of this molecule make it natural to consider performing laser spectroscopy on this four-particle matter-antimatter system. We report here progress towards this goal, including the production of a more intense positron beam and the development and testing of laser systems suitable for spectroscopy of atomic and molecular positronium.
