Abstract

Following recent theoretical results, it is suggested that positronium (Ps) might undergo spontaneous oscillations between two 4D space–time sheets whenever subjected to constant irrotational magnetic vector potentials. We show that these oscillations that would come together with o-Ps/p-Ps oscillations should have important consequences on Ps decay rates. Experimental setup and conditions are also suggested for demonstrating in nonaccelerator experiments this new invisible decay mode.
