Description

We review our recent results on higher order corrections in positronium physics. We discuss a calculation of the recoil O(mα6) corrections to the hyperfine splitting [1] and energy levels [2] of a positronium atom, O(mα7 ln2 α) contributions to the positronium S-wave energy levels [3] and O(α2) radiative corrections to the parapositronium decay rate [4]
