Introduction
Positron
Positron is the antimatter of electron. Positrons have same mass as electron ( ), carries positive charge, and it is noted as "".
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.

Signal extraction
For 3 MeV and on detector show all the steps
- Raw counts target in and out (calibrated energy)
- Normalized counts
- background subtracted
- Integral (zoomed in and with error)
Example of error propagation for the above
Raw counts target in and out
