DESCRIPTION:
 Guest Speaker:  Dr. Adam Deller, Scientist at 
 Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, Garching, 
 Germany\n
 Positronium is a remarkably simple atom.  The 
 bound state of an electron and an anti-electron, 
 positronium tends to self-annihilate on the nanosecond 
 time scale.  Although short-lived, pulsed lasers 
 can be used to perform spectroscopy, allowing 
 for unique tests of quantum electrodynamics with 
 a purely leptonic system.  I will review the current 
 state of experimental physics with positronium 
 and summarize its relevance to atomic, astro, 
 and plasma physics.\n
