Abstract

Weakly bound positron–electron pairs have been created in vacuum following low energy positron bombardment of a surface held at a temperature close to 4 K. The pairs, which behave as magnetized positronium atoms in the strong (>1 T) magnetic fields used in this experiment, were detected following...
