Positron annihilation in the MuPs system

Abstract: The life-time of the four-body atomic system MuPs (

m u^{+} e_{2}^{-} e^{+}

or muonium-positronium) against positron annihilation has been evaluated as

a u = f r a c 1 G a m m a a p p r o x 4.076453 c d o t 1 0^{- 10}

s e c

. Various annihilation rates for MuPs are determined to a good numerical accuracy, e.g.,

G a m m a_{2 g a m m a} a p p r o x

2.446485

c d o t 1 0^{9}

s e c^{- 1}

,

G a m m a_{3 g a m m a} a p p r o x

6.62798

c d o t 1 0^{6}

s e c^{- 1}

,

G a m m a_{4 g a m m a} a p p r o x

3.61680

c d o t 1 0^{3}

s e c^{- 1}

,

G a m m a_{5 g a m m a} a p p r o x

6.32973

s e c^{- 1}

. The hyperfine structure splitting for the ground state in the MuPs system has also been evaluated as

D e l t a

= 23.078
