Calculations reveal two-photon detachment mechanisms in positronium negative ion, suggesting insights into binding behaviors.

This research aims to calculate the two-photon detachment cross section of the positronium negative ion and explore its binding properties.
Calculations performed for energies below the n=2 threshold in both length and velocity forms.
Used Rayleigh–Ritz and complex Kohn variational methods for calculating wave functions and binding energies.
Investigated applicability of Wigner’s threshold laws for detachment cross sections.
Determined detailed bound-state and final-state wave functions using Hylleraas functions.
Identified significant binding energy contributions from photon interactions at the ionization threshold.

Mitchell et al. (2026) studied this question.
