Abstract
Depth-selective 2D-ACAR investigations on ordered mesoporous silica thin films provide direct evidence that para-positronium ( p-Ps) created deep in the films can escape through a network of interconnected pores. The depth dependence of the escape fraction and of the average kinetic energy of non-thermally excited p-Ps is in quantitative agreement with Monte Carlo modeling, assuming classical collisions of p-Ps with the pore walls. The model provides insight in the shape of the angular correlation distributions and their sensitivity to, e.g., the effective wall mass M s and pore dimensions.
