A Precis of Threshold Laws for Positron vs. Electron Impact Ionization of Atoms
The Coulomb-dipole theory of positron vs. electron impact ionization of hydrogen (as a proxy for neutral atoms) is reviewed, emphasizing how the analytic form of the threshold law (but not the magnitude) can be the same, whereas the physics of each is entirely different.
