We propose a method to convert measured positronium annihilation rates in gaseous xenon into total and differential cross sections of positronium-xenon collisions in an ultralow-energy region of less than 80 meV where their experimental determinations as functions of the positronium kinetic energy are extremely difficult. This method makes it possible to determine not only the-wave collisional parameters but also the-wave and-wave parameters. We have found a small positive value of the scattering length,, which indicates that the positronium-xenon interaction in this energy region is repulsive and suggests that it is dominated by the scattering amplitude of the positron rather than that of the electron. An extrapolation of the analytical result into the experimentally inaccessible energy regions from 80 meV to 1.0 eV indicates that there should not be a Ramsauer-Townsend minimum but rather a peak in the total cross section at an energy of approximately 0.4 eV.
