Description

The cross section σ for the positron-impact ionization of the hydrogen atom near threshold has been evaluated analytically with the final-state wave function involving three Coulomb functions. Contrary to the earlier result that σ vanishes exponentially, we find the threshold law as σ∼E3/2. copyright 1996 The American Physical Society
