## About

This package is designed to collate useful bits of code pertaining to the positronium atom (i.e., an electron bound to its antiparticle, the positron).

The package currently only contains two very simple modules.

constants is intended to collect useful constants.

bohr uses an adaption of the Rydberg formula (sim. to hydrogen) to calculate the principle energy levels of positronium, or the interval between two levels. The default unit is ‘eV’, however, the kwarg ‘unit’ can be configured to return, for instance, the corresponding vacuum wavelength.

`python >>> from positronium import bohr >>> bohr.En(1, 2, unit='nm') 243.00454681357735 `
