Abstract
A detailed theoretical investigation of the fundamental three-body antiproton-positronium system is presented, utilizing both quantum convergent close coupling and classical trajectory methods. We evaluate scattering cross sections for all major processes, including charge transfer and breakup, over a wide range of positronium kinetic energies and states with principal quantum number ${n}_{\mathrm{Ps}}\ensuremath{\le}6$. The study has significantly extended previous work, and the direct quantum-classical comparison has revealed a systematic approach to obtaining cross sections for arbitrarily high ${n}_{\mathrm{Ps}}$. This is of major significance for prospective applications of collisions of excited positronium atoms in cold (anti-)atomic physics.
