Our joint experimental-theory work performed in collaboration with the pioneering UCSD experimental positron group on “Positron binding in aromatic and other ringed molecules” has been published as an Editors’ Suggestion in PRA: https://journals.aps.org/pra/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevA.109.062801
In this work blind comparisons of binding energies calculated with our ab initio many-body theory were made with new measurements by the USCD experimental group, finding good to excellent agreement, and demonstrating the predictive capability of our approach. We elucidated the competition between dipole moment and pi bonds in positron-molecule binding. On the experimental side, many new annihilation spectra and insights were presented.
Welcome to the Antimatter & many-body theory group of Dermot Green at Queen’s University Belfast!
We develop theoretical and computational methods to describe the interactions of antimatter with atoms, molecules and condensed matter, to provide fundamental insight required to support and direct experiment, inform other theory, and develop antimatter-based technologies. The group director is Dr Dermot Green.
