Abstract: An analysis is made of the possibility of observation of spontaneous–stimulated annihilation of a noninverted relativistic flux of para-positronium with an energy of about 80 MeV in the field of radiation of an atomic transition in a second (counterpropagating) positronium beam excited by an external source of far-infrared radiation.
