Abstract

ABSTRACTWe have developed an apparatus that provides a high flux, low energy, monoenergetic positron beam to investigate various processes which occur when a positron beam impinges on a metal surface, including annihilation at the surface, trapping in vacancies, and the emission of both fast and thermally desorbed positronium. We report here the first angular correlation of annihilation gamma-rays measurements and positronium time of flight experiments at a material surface. We applied a simple free electron model which explains the general trend of the data but differences due to the surface specific properties and the deviation from a free electron metal are evident.
