Abstract

We report the instrumentation of a new positron diffractometer that is connected to the high-intensity positron beam at the neutron induced positron source Munich. Crucial elements for the adaption of the positron beam are presented, which include the magnetic field termination, the optional transmission-type remoderator for brightness enhancement, and the electrostatic system for acceleration and beam optics. The positron trajectories of the remoderated and the twofold remoderated beam have been simulated to optimize the system, i.e., to obtain a coherent beam of small diameter. Within a first beamtime, we tuned the system and characterized the direct beam. For the twofold remoderated beam of 10keV energy, we experimentally observe a beam diameter of d < 1.3mm, which agrees well with the simulation.
