Positronium on the light front

2020 
Basis Light-front Quantization (BLFQ) is a newly developed nonperturbative approach, aiming at solving relativistic bound systems based on the Hamiltonian formalism of light-front dynamics. In this work, we introduce its application to the positronium system at strong coupling, $\alpha = 0.3$, with a dynamical photon mediating the interaction between the positron and the electron. Nonperturbative mass renormalization is needed to cancel the fermion self-energy divergence. Here, we present the resulting mass spectrum, light-front wave functions (LFWFs), and the photon distribution inside positronium.
