Corrections of order α2 to the decay width of orthopositronium
Description
Relativistic corrections of order α2 to the decay width of orthopositronium are calculated using the local quasipotential equation. Necessary contributions coming from the amplitude of the three-photon decay of orthopositronium and from the normalization of the wave function, as well as second-order perturbative corrections, are taken into account. 20 refs., 2 figs
