Abstract：
The Doppler broadening of the two-photon annihilation line arising from the intermediate lifetime of positronium in a magnetic field has been measured using a time selecting γ-ray spectrometer.From the relation the kinetic energy and age.we have found that or thopositronium loses its energy rapidly between about 1eV and 0.25eV through inelastic collisions with SiO₂ molecules and then is slowly thermalized through successive elastic collisions.It is also observed that the annihilation rate of the orthopositronium is larger while it has larger speed.The effect of the gradual thermalization of orthopositronium should be a main systematic error source,which was not understood,in the precision experiments on the decay rate of orthopositronium.
