Abstract: (Springer)
We present a simplified model for the production of photonium in which an incident positron picks up an off-shell electron. The vertex form factor and coupling constant for one state are fixed by experimental measurements. Predictions for the production of additional states and for two-photon decay experiments are then made assuming the production vertex is the same for all states of photonium.
