Abstract

The rate of positronium formation has been increased by 2–3 orders of magnitude using recently developed accelerator based slow positron sources. This opens the possibility of improvements of precision experiments on the Ps atom as well as new experiments on excited states. First evidence for enhanced metastable Ps formation is presented and future possibilities are discussed.
