The purpose of this research is to evaluate the veracity of a positron beam line using the quad triplet method to collect positrons produced when a 10 MeV electron beam impinges on a 1.25 mm thick Tungsten target.
Positron Beam Properties
Tungsten thickness
The optimal Tungsten target thickness to produce positrons using a 10 MeV incident electron beam appears to be 1.25 mm.

Positron Momentum and Phase space distribution
Assuming a 10 meV electron beam having a gaussian spot size with a = 3mm.
We may want the achromat to have a 10% or less energy spread to measure the above distribution but we will also wan to open the slits to maximize positron current. This may mean accepting an energy spread of 30%.

Electron Momentum Distributions
According to GEANT4
The electrons which penetrate a 1 mm Tungsten foil have the momentum distribution below
