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 beam line used for an initial set of positron production measurements |
| Item | Description |
| Tantalum Foil | 6 mm thick 20 mm x 20 mm area |
| Tungsten Foil | 2 mm thick 20 mm x 20 mm area |
| Phosphorus Flag | 1 mil aluminum backing |
| Media:HpGe_Crystal_GEM-60195-Plus-P.pdf | 81.3mm Diameter, 55.5mm Length |
| NaI detector |
 |
|
| The observed photon energy distributionas as measured by the HpGe (top) and NaI (bottom) detectors. | The HpGe photon energy distribution before and after a sweep magnet is used to deflect charged particles away from the conversion target. |
2nd Generation positron source
|
| HRRL beamline for positron generation. |
