  Relativistic coupled-cluster single-double approximation is used to calculate
positron-atom bound states. The method is tested on closed-shell atoms such as
Be, Mg, Ca, Zn, Cd, and Hg where a number of accurate calculations is
available. It is then used to calculate positron binding energies for a range
of open-shell transition metal atoms from Sc to Cu, from Y to Pd, and from Lu
to Pt. These systems possess Feshbach resonances, which can be used to search
for positron-atom binding experimentally through resonant annihilation or
scattering.
