Last week, joyful and long-awaited news came from the University of California, Riverside. Physics professor Allen P. Mills, Jr. and his assistant David Cassidy reported in the journal on September 13 Nature that they managed to create very short-lived quasi-molecules consisting of a pair of electrons and a pair of positrons. And not just create it, but also reliably prove it. Thus, they successfully completed a bold research project that they began several years ago. In any case, I would like to hope that their application will remain valid.

As is known, theoretical physicists are often ahead of experimentalists. This case is no exception, since the creations of Cassidy and Mills were predicted back in 1946. This story in itself is quite interesting, so I will describe it in detail.

It started in the Balkans. In 1934, Croatian physicist Stjepan Mohorovicic (son of the great seismologist who discovered the interface between the Earth's crust and mantle named after him) predicted the existence of a bound state of electron and positron. He relied on the theory of the hydrogen atom developed by Niels Bohr, only instead of a proton he used a positron. Mohorovicic published his findings in a very prestigious German journal Astronomische Nachrichten. I think that the choice of publication was explained by the fact that at that time the positron had a completely celestial status: in 1931, Paul Dirac predicted the existence of a positively charged antielectron, and a year later Carl Anderson discovered it in showers of cosmic particles (and at the same time christened it). And a year later, Irene and Frederic Joliot-Curie already observed antielectrons of purely terrestrial origin, arising from the birth of electron-positron pairs from gamma quanta emitted by a radioactive source.

Mohorovicic's work was not lucky. Astronomers were not particularly interested in it, and physicists, it seems, did not notice it. The name he proposed for the electron-positron pseudoatom, electrum, also did not catch on. The now common term "positronium" was invented by Washington physicist Arthur Edward Ruark, who came up with the same idea in 1945. And a year later, Princeton professor John Archibald Wheeler, from a more general position, considered the possibility of not only paired, but also more complex bound states of electrons and positrons, which he called polyelectrons. Soon these theories began to be confirmed in experiment, and, naturally, it all started with positronium. It was first observed in 1951 by the Austrian physicist Martin Deutsch, who moved to the United States and was then a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Now the properties of positronium atoms are well studied. In experiments, they are formed during collisions of slow positrons with atoms. Some of these collisions result in a positron capturing one of the outer electrons of the atomic shell. A positronium atom is twice the size of a hydrogen atom.

As is known, a hydrogen atom can exist in two ground states, determined by the mutual orientation of the spins of the proton and electron. When the spins are parallel, we have orthohydrogen; when the spins are antiparallel, we have parahydrogen (by the way, the cosmic radio emission of hydrogen is explained precisely by transitions between these states). Positronium atoms are also born in ortho- and paraversions. Orthopositronium annihilates into an odd number of electromagnetic radiation quanta with a total energy of 1022 keV, most often into three gamma quanta. Parapositronium, on the contrary, always gives rise to a pair of gamma rays.

This difference in decay methods (which is determined by the law of conservation of charge parity) leads to the fact that the lifetimes of the two forms of positronium are very different. Orthopositronium exists in a vacuum for 142 nanoseconds, parapositronium for 125 picoseconds. In material media, positronium atoms live even less than in emptiness. In general, these are very unstable systems. However, they, like ordinary atoms, can also exist in the form of ions. In 1981, Allen Mills, who was then working at Bell Labs, obtained a negative positronium ion, composed of a pair of electrons and one positron.

The analogy between positronium and hydrogen extends further. Hydrogen atoms tend to combine into diatomic molecules. It is natural to assume that positronium atoms are also capable of this. Wheeler was the first to guess about this, which he wrote about in the already mentioned article on polyelectrons (moreover, he even predicted the existence of molecules of three positronium atoms). Physicists have repeatedly tried to experimentally create the diatomic systems predicted by Wheeler, but for a long time nothing came of it. Only in 2005, employees of the University of California at Riverside with colleagues from Japan and two other American research centers announced (Pdf, 560 Kb) that they were able to produce diatomic molecular positronium - dipositronium (in chemical nomenclature denoted Ps 2). It was a fairly large group (8 members), but the same Cassidy and Mills played a key role in it. However, the experimental results of that time allowed for different interpretations, so the scientific world was waiting for more convincing evidence.

And now they seem to have been received. Cassidy and Mills again used a positron trap that their colleagues at the University of California at San Diego, led by Clifford M. Surko, had invented several years earlier. Having accumulated about twenty million positrons in it, the experimenters fired them into a small section of a quartz film 230 nanometers thick, containing many tiny holes. Each pulse was very short, the positrons hitting the target in less than a nanosecond. Penetrating inside these pores, positrons met electrons and sometimes, in alliance with them, gave rise to positronium atoms. The efficiency of this process was very low; the number of positronium atoms did not exceed one hundred thousand. Some of the atoms of the more durable orthopositronium managed to migrate to the surface of the film and there combined into dipositronium molecules.

Cassidy and Mills did not choose quartz as a target by chance. When dipositronium is formed, energy is released. It must be taken somewhere, otherwise the positronium atoms will almost certainly repel each other and again disperse in different directions. The surface of the quartz film absorbed this energy and thereby stabilized the atomic pairing. The pores penetrating it greatly increased its area, creating more space for the birth of dipositronium molecules.

Naturally, no one saw these molecules themselves. However, upon annihilation, they produced characteristic gamma radiation, which was recorded. The intensity of this radiation decreased with increasing film temperature. This was to be expected, since more dipositronium molecules should have been preserved on the cold surface. Therefore, Cassidy and Mills believe that they now have completely reliable evidence of his birth in their hands.

These experiments can also yield quite practical results. Cassidy and Mills calculated that in their experiment the density of positronium atoms was 10 15 per cm 3. Calculations show that when this density increases by three orders of magnitude, these atoms at a temperature of 15 kelvins will merge into a single quantum system - a Bose-Einstein condensate. With a subsequent increase in density by another thousand times, it will be possible to launch a cascade reaction of positronium annihilation in it, which will lead to the birth of coherent gamma rays. As a result, an emitter can be created that so far exists only on the pages of science fiction novels - a gamma laser.

Positronium

Positronium is a coupled quantum mechanical system consisting of an electron and a positron. Positronium is designated by the chemical symbol Ps. The possibility of positronium formation was discussed back in the mid-40s. Cross section for positronium production in e + e - collisions at a relatively low velocity v, calculated D. Ivanenko And A. Sokolov(DAN USSR 58, 1320 (1947)),

α = 1/137 is the fine structure constant, r 0 = e 2 /m e c 2 is the classical radius of the electron. Ratio of positronium production cross sections σ Ps and annihilation σ a

At v ≈ α·c, which corresponds to the relative kinetic energy of colliding particles 13.5 eV, the positronium production cross section is 50 times larger than the annihilation cross section. Therefore, in most cases, a bound state, positronium, will be formed before annihilation.
It has been shown theoretically that there should be two types of positronium atoms, differing in lifetime.
The positronium atom was synthesized for the first time M. Deychem in 1951
A positronium atom consists of a particle of ordinary matter - an electron - and a particle of antimatter - a positron.
The characteristics of various states of positronium can be obtained from the characteristics of the hydrogen atom, based on the fact that the proton is replaced by a positron, which leads to a reduction in the reduced mass of the electron μ in positronium by half compared to the reduced mass of the electron in the hydrogen atom m e

The energies of states with principal quantum number n in a positronium atom are determined by the relation

Ry = 13.602 eV – Rydberg constant.
Accordingly, the energies of transitions in positronium are approximately two times less than the energies of the corresponding transitions in the hydrogen atom, and the emitted wavelengths λ are twice as long.
The radius of the Bohr orbit of the positronium atom R(Ps) is twice the radius of the Bohr orbit of the hydrogen atom R(H)

The ionization potential of positronium is 6.77 eV, which is half the ionization potential of the hydrogen atom. Since the electron and positron spins are equal to s = 1/2, in the ground bound state two values ​​of the positronium spin S(Ps) are possible.

  • S(Ps) = 0. The spins of the electron and positron are directed in opposite directions - the total spin is S(Ps) = 0. This state is called parapositronium.
  • S(Ps) = 1. The electron and positron spins are directed in the same direction - the total spin
    S(Ps)= 1. This state is called orthopositronium.

Due to the difference in spin values ​​in the ground state, the energy of orthopositronium 3S 1 on
8.4·10 -4 eV is greater than the energy of the ground state 1S 0 .
In the interaction of an unpolarized electron and a positron, the probability of the formation of a state with spin S(Ps) = 1 is three times greater than the probability of the formation of a state with spin S(Ps) = 0, which is explained by the greater statistical weight g = 2S + 1 of the state S = 1 by compared to the state S = 0.
The lifetime of positronium depends on the relative orientation of the spins of the electron and positron. The average lifetime of parapositronium at rest in a vacuum relative to annihilation is 125 ps, and orthopositronium is 143 ns. Such a large difference in lifetime is due to the fact that, as a result of annihilation, parapositronium can decay into two γ quanta, while orthopositronium decays into three γ quanta (Fig. 7.1).


Rice. 7.1. Decay diagrams for parapositronium S(Ps) = 0 and orthopositronium S(Ps) = 1.

It is also possible to annihilate parapositronium into a larger even number of photons, and orthopositronium into a larger odd number of photons.
The spontaneous transition of positronium from the ortho state to the para state is prohibited, despite the small (8.4·10 -4 eV) energy difference between these states. However, this transition can be induced when positronium collides with gas molecules that have one unpaired electron. In this case, a resonant exchange of electrons can occur between the positronium and the gas molecule.

Positronium molecule

In 1976 D. Wheeler showed that positronium can form two- and three-atomic molecules similar to the hydrogen molecule. The study of the properties of positronium became possible thanks to the creation of intense positron sources.
The first positron sources had an intensity of the order of tens of positrons per second. More intense sources of positrons were obtained as a result of the β + decay of radioactive isotopes formed during irradiation in nuclear reactors or in proton and deuteron accelerators. As a result, it was possible to increase the intensity of positron beams to 10 7 positron/s. The next stage in increasing the intensity of positron beams was the creation of positron storage devices. The isotope 22 Na was used as the initial source of positrons.
The most intense positron beams can be obtained through the interaction of intense laser radiation with matter. The interaction of a short intense laser beam with the target material leads to the formation of electrons, which, when accelerated in the intense laser field, generate bremsstrahlung γ-radiation with the subsequent formation of electrons and positrons. The resulting electrons and positrons can then be separated quite simply using electromagnetic separators.
The positronium atom has some analogy with the hydrogen atom.

  • In positronium, as well as in the hydrogen atom, parallel and antiparallel orientations of the spins of the positron and electron lead to two states: parapositron - a state with the total spin of the electron and positron S = 0 and orthopositronium - a state with the total spin of the electron and positron S = 1.
  • In the case of hydrogen, it is possible to create a negative hydrogen ion from one proton and two electrons. Similarly, in the case of positronium, it is possible to create a negative positronium ion, consisting of one positron and two electrons.
  • Hydrogen atoms combine into diatomic molecules 1 H + 1 H → 2 1 H. Therefore, it was of interest to obtain a molecule of diatomic positronium. Positronium molecules were first obtained in 2007.
    Preliminary calculations showed that the binding energy of such a molecule is ≈0.4 eV. Therefore, in order for a positronium molecule to form as a result of a collision of two positronium atoms, a third body is needed that would take away the excess energy and thereby stabilize the resulting positronium molecule - preventing its rapid collapse. A specially treated porous quartz surface (pore size ≈ 40 Å) was chosen as such a third body. It was shown that positronium atoms are effectively formed in a microporous surface when irradiated with an intense positron beam. About 20 million positrons were accumulated in a specially designed positron accumulator, which were then fired into a quartz plate within one nanosecond. Positronium atoms were formed in micropores. Positronium atoms were formed both in the long-lived o-Ps orthopositronium state and in the short-lived p-Ps parapositronium state. At a positron beam density of ~10 9 cm–2, two processes occur in porous cells.
  • Exchange of spins between interacting states of orthopositronium and parapositronium
    o-Ps + oPs ↔ pPs + pPs + 2E 1,
    where E 1 is the energy difference between the 3S 1 states.
  • Formation of the parapositronium molecule Ps 2 from two o-Ps states
    X + o-Ps + oPs ↔ X + Ps 2 + E 2,
    where X represents the medium in which the formation of a positronium molecule occurs, E 2 = 0.4 eV is the energy that is released during the formation of a positronium molecule Ps 2 (Fig. 7.2).

Rice. 7.2. The interaction of positronium atoms in a vacuum prevents the formation of a positronium molecule. The interaction of positronium atoms on the surface of porous silicon promotes the formation of a positronium molecule.

Most of the positrons implanted into the quartz substrate immediately annihilated with the substrate electrons without producing positronium. However, the annihilation time diagram made it possible to observe the annihilation of the resulting atoms in the S = 1 state within 150 ns after the moment of positron implantation into the quartz substrate. Positrons captured by the porous surface interact with free silicon electrons, resulting in the formation of positronium atoms. The annihilation of positrons was recorded by a Cherenkov counter with a PbF 2 scintillator.
Evidence of the formation of positronium was the temperature dependence of the signal intensity of annihilation γ-quanta with an energy of 511 keV. At a lower temperature, more molecules of positronium Ps 2 are formed, because Positronium atoms have lower energy and collide with the surface less often. An increase in the fast component of the signal was observed at low temperatures, which indicated the formation of Ps 2 molecules.
Before the positronium atoms annihilated, about 100 thousand molecules of positronium Ps 2 were formed. Once a positronium molecule in the orthopositronium state is formed, the positron can capture an electron with the opposite spin, resulting in faster annihilation of the positronium. Positronium molecules are distinguished by the fact that they are a mixture of four particles of the same mass and annihilate faster than atoms, because In a positronium molecule it is easier for a positron to meet an electron than in an atom.
So far, the number of positronium molecules formed is small. The density of the resulting positronium molecules in the first experiments was 10 15 cm–3. However, it is planned to increase the intensity of the positron beam to a level at which studies of the spectra of molecular positronium will become possible. Already the first experiments with molecular positronium showed that the energy of the first excited state of a free positronium atom and a positronium atom located in a silicon micropore are different. This opens up the fundamental possibility of measuring the sizes of various surface defects. In future experiments, it is planned to study the properties of the Bose condensate from positronium molecules and to create a source of gamma radiation - an electron-positron gamma laser.

Muonium

Muonium is a bound quantum system consisting of a positively charged muon μ + and an electron e -. Muonium differs from the hydrogen atom by replacing the proton with a positively charged muon μ +. Muonium is formed when muons μ + are decelerated in matter. A muon can attach one of the electrons of the electron shell of an atom of the medium, forming a bound state μ + e - . The lifetime of muonium is determined by the average lifetime of a muon τ(μ) = 2.2·10 -6 s. The energy levels of the muonic atom E n can be calculated based on the non-relativistic Schrödinger equation

where Ry = 13.6 eV is the Rydberg constant, n = 1,2,3, ... is the principal quantum number.
The radius of the Bohr orbit of muonium is R = 0.532 Å. The ionization potential of the muonium atom is Eionis = 13.54 eV. Muonium is the simplest system, consisting of a lepton e - and antilepton μ +, connected by electromagnetic interaction. Therefore, precision measurement of the fine structure of the muonium spectrum is one of the precise methods for testing quantum electrodynamics. Since the electron and muon are fermions with spin s = 1/2 their total spin value is
= 1 + 2 can take the value = 0, i.e. Fermion spins can be either antiparallel or parallel. In 75% of cases, muonium atoms are formed in the = state with parallel spins of the muon and electron, and in 25% of cases the total spin of muonium is zero. The energies of these states differ by ~2·10 -5 eV and quantum transitions with the emission of photons with a frequency of ν = 4463 MHz are possible between them. The energy splitting of states = 0 is due to the interaction between the magnetic moments of the electron e - and the muon μ +. In an external magnetic field, the = level is split into three states that differ in the values ​​of the projection Fz = +1,0,-1 vector onto the external magnetic field.
One of the effective ways of producing a muon μ + is the formation of μ + as a result of the decay of positively charged pions
