Abstract
The thermalization parameter of positronium in pure isobutane gas was measured in order to take into account the thermalization effect on precision measurements of the ground-state hyperfine splitting (HFS) of positronium. The momentum-transfer cross section was measured to be for positroniums with kinetic energy below 0.17 eV. Using this value, our new HFS experiment revealed that the positronium thermalization effect on HFS was as large as . In this article, we show the details of Ps thermalization measurement, which have not been published before, and also its effect on HFS.
