الوصف: The recently developed ab initio many-body theory of positron molecule binding [J. Hofierka et al., Nature, 606, 688 (2022)] is combined with the shifted pseudostates method [A. R. Swann and G. F. Gribakin, Phys. Rev. A 101, 022702 (2020)] to calculate positron scattering and annihilation rates on small molecules, namely H$_2$, N$_2$ and CH$_4$. The important effects of positron-molecule correlations are delineated. The method provides uniformly good results for annihilation rates on all the targets, from the simplest (H$_2$, for which only a sole previous calculation agrees with experiment), to larger targets, where high-quality calculations have not been available.
