Abstrakt: Annihilation of the electron-positron pairs (or (e[?], e+)-pairs, for short) in various polyelectrons e+ne[?]m = e[?]me+n (where n [?] 1 and m [?] 1) is considered. In particular, we discuss the three- and four-photon annihilation of the (e[?], e+)-pairs in the three-body Ps[?] ion and four-body bi-positronium system Ps2. It is shown that the five-body e+2e[?]3 ion is an unbound system. The closed-form expression is derived for the amplitude-square |M|2 of the three-photon annihilation of (e[?], e+)-pair at arbitrary energies of the colliding particles. Analogous amplitude-square |M|2 for the four-photon annihilation is reduced to the form which is convenient for future analytical calculations. A method which can be used to produce macroscopic polyelectrons is briefly discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
