Abstract

The Kohn variational method has recently been applied to the calculation of the addition to the Coulomb phase shift, in positron scattering, by the hydrogen molecular ion below the positronium-formation threshold at 9.45 eV. In this paper the wave function obtained for the lowest spheroidal partial wave of [Formula: see text] symmetry is used to calculate the contribution to Zeff from this symmetry. The results are significantly larger than those obtained using the Coulomb–Born approximation.
