Abstract
This paper examines the positron{hydrogen scattering process by numerically solving the time-dependent Schrodinger equation in the s-wave model. The o verall behaviour of the system wavefunction as it propagates through the co llision region is studied above the positronium formation threshold and is found to match expectations qualitatively.
