Abstract
We report on the first direct energy resolved measurements of two quantum annihilation in flight (TQAF) using monoenergetic positrons below 100 keV. A monoenergetic positron beam at Washington State University with variable kinetic energy up to 70 keV was guided onto thin aluminum targets. To clearly identify in flight positron annihilation a two dimensional Doppler broadening technique was employed utilizing two HPGe detectors. The method uniquely identifies TQAF by providing the total energy of the annihilating electron-positron pair. A basic understanding of the fundamental TQAF process has been obtained using this high resolution technique. With this fundamental understanding we believe several new avenues of experimental exploration are possible.
