Experimental tests of quantum electrodynamics using positronium are reviewed. These tests include measurements of the ground state hyperfine structure, excited state fine structure, and the annihilation decay rates of positronium. Emphasis is given to describing the present experimental techniques, comparing the most recent results with theory, and summarizing possible future improvements in the measurements.

We consider a Keller-Segel type chemotaxis model with logarithmic sensitivity and logistic growth. It is a 2 by 2 system describing the interaction of cells and a chemical signal. We study Cauchy problem with finite initial data, i.e., without the commonly used smallness assumption on  initial perturbations around a constant ground state. We survey a sequence of recent results by the authors on  the existence of global-in-time solution,  long-time behavior, vanishing coefficient limit and optimal time decay rates of the solution.

Abstract Lifetime measurements down to nearly liquid helium temperatures are used for determining energy levels and transition rates between excited levels and relaxations into the ground state. Energies are obtained from temperature dependent lifetimes by fitting experimental curves to model functions pertinent for thermally activated processes. Rates are calculated from solutions of rate equations. Similar parameters for pure and doped Pt(IV) hexahalogeno complexes indicate that excited levels largely belong to molecular units. Some of the rates between excited states are only somewhat larger than decay rates into the ground state, which is a consequence of the polyexponential decay measured also at low temperature (2 K). In the series of halogen complexes, the rates between spinorbit levels resulting from 3T1g increase from fluorine to bromine, although energy splittings become larger. Due to the decreasing population of higher excited states in this series, K^PtFö shows a tri-exponential, K2PtCl6 a bi-exponential and FoPtBr6 a mono-exponential decay. In the latter case the population density of higher excited states relaxes so fast that emission occurs primarily from the lowest excited Γ3(3T1g) level. Phase transitions and emission from chromophores on different sites can also be observed.

The β-decay rates of 60Ca have been studied within a microscopic model, which is based on the Skyrme interaction T45 to construct single-particle and phonon spaces. We observe a redistribution of the Gamow–Teller strength due to the phonon-phonon coupling, considered in the model. For 60Sc, the spin-parity of the ground state is found to be 1+. We predict that the half-life of 60Ca is 0.3 ms, while the total probability of the βxn emission is 6:1%. Additionally, the random matrix theory has been applied to analyze the statistical properties of the 1+ spectrum populated in the β-decay to elucidate the obtained results.
