D-wave Resonances in Positronium Hydride

In a previous paper [Phys. Rev. A 65, 032721 (2002)] we re-examined a model describing the structure of the low-energy Ps-H resonances as being due to quasi-bound states of the positron in the perturbed Coulomb potential of the H-ion appearing in the closed, rearranged channel. In particular, we wished to understand why the lowest p-state resonance was so far away from the lowest quasi-bound (2p) state. We found that the lowest resonance actually corresponds to the first excited [3p] state, while the lowest state is not recognizable as a resonance. In the present work we repeat our analysis, but this time for the lowest d state. We find that the lowest [3d] state does correspond to a resonance shifted moderately.
