Abstract
The influence of spatial dispersion of the medium on the interaction energy of a positronium atom and a metal surface is studied using the self-energy formalism developed by Manson and Ritchie. It is found that within the dipole approximation when spatial dispersion is taken into account the interaction energy saturates to a constant value at the surface even for positronium at rest.
