Abstract
Annihilation converts positronium hydride into photons and a hydrogen atom. We calculate the probability that the residual hydrogen atom will relax to each of number of bound states. The results suggest an experiment for detecting positronium hydride in a system in which excited hydrogen atoms do not exist except as the residue after annihilation. The experiment consists of measuring the intensity increase of the Lyman - α line upon quenching the 2 s atoms to 2 p atoms. We predict that the intensity will increase by a factor of 35.
