We determine the rates and energy and angular distributions of the positronium decays into a photon and a neutrino-antineutrino pair, Ps-->gamma+nu+anti-nu. We find that both positronium spin states have access to this decay channel, contrary to a previously published result. The low-energy tails of the spectra are shown to be sensitive to the binding effects and agree with Low's theorem. Additionally, we find a connection between the behaviour of the soft photon spectrum in both o-Ps-->gamma+nu+anti-nu and o-Ps-->3gamma decays, and the Stark effect.

    The branching ratio for Ps⁻ → e⁻ ν_μ ν̄_μ is calculated and found comparable to the weak decay rate of ortho-positronium.
