Abstract
Generally, most discussions of the yields of positronium, Ps, in gases and liquids have been constrained to the framework of either the Ore or spur model of Ps formation. In this paper, we shall demonstrate that by a slight extension of the frames of these models it is possible to formulate a single model of Ps formation in gases and liquids. Furthermore, we shall give a semi-quantitative discussion of the thermalization properties of positrons in gases. These results will be used in a discussion of the density behaviour of Ps yields in gases.
