Abstract

A new method to realize Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of positronium (Ps) is proposed and a Monte-Carlo simulation was performed to evaluate the cooling efficiency of Ps atoms. Ps-BEC was found to be possible by a method including laser cooling of Ps. Laser specifications for Ps cooling are challenging and development is ongoing. A new temperature measurement method for cold Ps and development of an intense, pulsed, slow-positron microbeam are also necessary. They are under study as outlined in this contribution.
