One-photon annihilation of the electron-positron pair at heavy atomic nuclei

We investigate one-photon annihilation of the electron-positron pair in the field of a central, very heavy and positively charged atomic nucleus. The explicit formula for the annihilation rate of this process Γ⁽ᵇ⁾1 γ is derived. Our formula for this rate can directly be used to describe the actual one-photon annihilation in the ground (bound) states of all positronium hydrides HPs, quasi-stable triplet states of the positron-helium atoms e⁺[ He(2³Sₑ)] ions and other systems.
