Abstract The dependence of the positronium decay rate on the gas density is considered. It is known that the positronium can be localized in a dense gas with the formation of a cavity “bubble” around the positronium. It results in a significant delay of the annihilation. The paper containes the quantitative theory of this phenomenon. A comparison is made with the experimental data for He4, He3, Ne.
