Resumen:
The formation of ground-state positronium in collisions of positrons on
hydrogen-like atoms is considered. In previous theoretical works, two-centre
distorted wavefunctions were employed to approximate either the initial or
the final channel. Here we report results obtained by means of the eikonal
final state continuum distorted wave approximation for which asymptotically
correct distorted wavefunctions are used for both the initial and final states of
the scattering system. Comparison of the present theoretical total cross sections
with experimental data reveals that distortion effects become important in both
channels as the impact energy decreases. This work also shows that distortedwave
theoriesmay be extended from their usual domain of high impact energies
to lower ones.
