Abstract
The first study of positron impact ionization with fully determined ki nematics is reported. A molecular hydrogen target has been used to inv estigate the possible occurrence of electron capture to a continuum st ate of positronium. A small broad peak in the spectrum of the ejected electron has been found which provides the first clear experimental ev idence for the process.
