Abstract
We report the results of a new measurement of the positronium Precision Microwave Spectroscopy of the Positronium 2 ³S₁ → 2 ³P₂ (v₂) interval. Using a modified experimental arrangement we have significantly reduced the effects of microwave reflections, which in previous experiments resulted in shifts and asymmetric line shapes. With the improved apparatus we obtain an experimental value of v₂ = 8627.94 ± 0.95 MHz, which is within 1.3[sigma] of the theoretical value 8626.71 ± 0.08 MHz.
