Abstract
A new monoenergetic MeV positron beam source was designed and constructed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) positron facility. The positron source provides a low emittance beam with high energy resolution for channeling, scattering, and in-flight annihilation experiments. New beam optics for extracting slow positrons from a moderator mounted in a Pelletron electrostatic accelerator is presented. A beam line was designed and constructed to energy analyze the output of the accelerator and to provide adjustable size and angular divergence beams to a target station. A post target large angle acceptance magnet separates positrons transmitted through the target from forward gamma ray emission.
