Abstract

The differential and total cross sections for the formation of positronium in its ground state from Li and Na atoms by the impact of intermediate-energy positrons are calculated in the first Born and distorted-wave Born approximations. Hellmann-type pseudopotentials are used to represent the alkali-metal ion cores. The difference in the use of pseudopotentials and the static potential for the core representation for evaluating various rearrangement cross sections is discussed.
