Positronium-hydrogen triplet scattering differential cross sections

Thesis / Dissertation

This pdf is my dissertation that was submitted as part of my Ph.D. defense. The formatting on this version is a bit more appealing than the version submitted to the graduate school. My dissertation can also be found on the arXiv.

Papers

Our work on positronium-hydrogen scattering culminated in the publication of two journal articles:
   Physical Review A - “Detailed investigation of low-energy positronium-hydrogen scattering
   Journal Physics B - “Comparison of positronium, positron and electron collisions with hydrogen at low velocities

Ph.D. Defense Presentation

There are a couple of ways to view the public presentation given during my Ph.D. defense at the University of North Texas:
PowerPoint presentation
SlideShare presentation - This is converted from the PowerPoint presentation, and the quality is not as good, but it can be viewed online, including being embedded below.


Other Publications

Future publications and past conference abstracts will be found on my Google Scholar page and my ORCID page.
