Development of a Positron source using a PbBi converter and a Solenoid

Converter target properties

Definition of Lead Bismuth


1cm diameter target

0.5 Tesla solenoid

2 mm thick PbBi

Target thickness optimization

First simple test is to send 1 million, 10 MeV electrons towards a PbBi target and count how many positrons leave the downstream side
