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

Converter target properties

Definition of Lead Bismuth


1cm diameter target 2 mm thick PbBi

0.5 Tesla solenoid

G4BeamLine and MCNPX

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

The Random number seed is set by Time in G4beamline to use a different set of pseudo random numbers each time it is run

The G4Beamlin incident electron beam has the following properties

beam gaussian particle=e- nEvents=1000000 beamZ=0.0 
        sigmaX=1.0 sigmaY=1.0 sigmaXp=0.100 sigmaYp=0.100 
        meanMomentum=10.0 sigmaP=4.0 meanT=0.0 sigmaT=0.0

I was unable to do anything other than a gaussian beam right now, I will try to do one later

For now I have a gaussian with an 8mm RMS and 10 MeV incident electrons as shown below.

The positron and electron momentum distributions after the PbBi converter are shown below

I was unable to do anything other than a gaussian beam right now, I will try to do one later

For now I have a gaussian with an 1mm RMS and 10 MeV incident electrons as shown below.
