On ortho-positronium and gauge

Abstract

Binding energy of the 1- state (ortho-positronium) in QED is calculated using the one-photon exchange Bethe-Salpeter equation in the Feynman and Coulomb gauges for different coupling constants α. Calculations show there is a remarkable difference in values of the binding energy for different coupling constants in these two gauges.
