This quantity is the outgrowth of a workshop held in October, 2000 on the Institute for Theoretical Atomic and Molecular Physics on the Harvard- Smithsonian heart for Astrophysics in Cambridge, MA. the purpose of this booklet (similar in subject to the workshop) is to provide an outline of recent instructions in antimatter physics and chemistry learn. The emphasis is on positron and positronium interactions either with themselves and with usual topic. The timeliness of this topic comes from a number of concerns. New strategies for severe positron resources and the advance of positron accumulators and trap-based positron beams supply qualitatively new experimental functions. at the theoretical part, the power to version complicated structures and complicated tactics has elevated dramatically lately, due partly to development in computational physics. There are shortly an fascinating number of phenomena that watch for theoretical rationalization. it really is almost guaranteed that the recent experimental features during this region will result in a speedy growth of this checklist. This publication is geared up into 4 sections: the 1st part discusses strength new experimental functions and the makes use of and the growth that would be made with them. the second one part discusses issues related to antihydrogen and many-body phenomena, together with Bose condensation of positronium atoms and positron interactions with fabrics. the ultimate sections deal with more than a few themes regarding positron and positronium interactions with atoms and molecules.
