We have calculated S-wave resonances in the positron-sodium system using the stabilization method in the framework of hyperspherical coordinates. Resonances below the Ps(n=2) threshold have been investigated. We have located all the previously known S-wave resonances by Kar and Ho Eur. Phys. J. D 35 453 (2005) and Ward et al. J. Phys. B 22 3763 (1989) and observed relatively good agreement for the resonance positions. In addition, two new higher-lying resonances associated with the Ps(n=2) threshold are found to be at energies of −0.066 56 and −0.063 53 a.u.
