Abstract

The method of complex-coordinate rotation is applied to investigate autoionization states of positronium molecules. Using elaborate Hylleraas-type wave functions in which all six interparticle coordinates are used, resonance parameters for six S-wave resonant states are determined. It is believed that three of them belong to a Rydberg series in which the two positrons form a singlet spin state, and the other three resonances belong to the triplet spin state for the two positrons. All these two Rydberg series are converging on the ground state of the ${\mathrm{Ps}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$ threshold.
