Fast decay of 23S1 positronium atoms in an MgO lined cavity

Abstract We report experiments in which radiatively metastable 2 3 S 1 $2\,^{3}\mathrm {S}_{1}$ positronium (Ps) atoms entered a waveguide whose internal surfaces were lined with smoked magnesium oxide (MgO) powder. The waveguide was built such that time-delayed microwave radiation pulses, tuned to...
