2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/107876The Configuration Interaction method is applied to investigate the possibility of positron binding to the metastable beryllium (1s^22s2p 3Po) state. The largest calculation obtained an estimated energy that was unstable by 0.00014 Hartree with respect to the Ps + Be^+(2s) lowest dissociation channel. It is likely that positron binding to parent states with non-zero angular momentum is inhibited by centrifugal barriers.12 pages, 2 figures, Elsevier tex format, In press Nucl.Instrum.Meth.Phys.Res.B positron issueAtomic Physicstext
