Introduction

Positron

Positron is the antimatter of electron. Positrons have same mass as electron ( [math]511~\frac{keV}{c^2}[/math]), carries positive charge, and it is noted as "[math]e^+[/math]".

Positrons predicted by Paul Dirac in 1928, <ref name="Dirac1928"> The Quantum Theory of the Electron, P. A. M. Dirac, Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A February 1, 1928 117 778 610-624;</ref>, and experimentally observed by Dmitri Skobeltsyn in 1929 and by Carl D. Anderson in 1932 <ref name="e+_discover"> General Chemistry, Taylor and Francis. p. 660. </ref>. Anderson also coined the term positron and he won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1936.

Data Analysis

Signal extraction

1. Raw counts target in and out (calibrated energy)
2. Normalized counts
3. background subtracted
4. Integral (zoomed in and with error)

Example of error propagation for the above
