Properties of the anomalous states of positronium
Abstract
It is shown that there are anomalous bound-state solutions to the two-body Dirac equation for an electron and a positron interacting via an electromagnetic potential. These anomalous solutions have quantized coordinates at nuclear distances (fermi) and are orthogonal to the usual atomic positronium bound states as shown by a simple extension of the Bethe-Salpeter equation. It is shown that the anomalous states have many properties which correspond to those of neutrinos.
