Accomplishments

The performance of positron source using a quad triplet collection system has been measured using the support from this award.

Initial Positron production measurement

An initial set of positron production efficiency measurements were performed

The observed photon energy distributions as measured by the HpGe (top) and NaI (bottom) detectors. There was no coincidence requirement using the two detectors. The HpGe photon energy distribution before and after a sweep magnet is used to deflect charged particles away from the conversion target.
