Abstract

Spontaneous emission of positronium negative ions from polycrystalline tungsten surfaces has been observed for the first time. It is a new channel for the fate of thermalized positrons near the surface. The obtained formation probability is (7 ± 2) × 10−5. This method provides a new source of monoenergetic positronium negative ions for future applications.
