Directional Correlations and Atomic Shell Ratios of Single Quantum Annihilation of Positrons (Physics)

该项目得到了“探索性研究小额资助”计划的支持，是对正电子的单量子湮灭进行详细精确研究的前奏。一项初步实验计划使用布鲁克海文国家实验室动力电子装置的加速正电子束。一个主要目标是测试湮灭量子探测中的符合技术，以努力降低实验室背景计数率。在这些试运行的基础上，可以评估扩大实验计划的可行性。

This project, supported under the "Small Grants for Exploratory Research" program, is a prelude to a detailed accurate investigation of single quantum annihilation of positrons. A preliminary experiment is planned using the accelerated positron beam of the Brookhaven National Laboratory Dynamitron facility. A principal objective is to test a coincidence technique in the detection of the annihilation quanta, in an effort to reduce laboratory background count rates. On the basis of these trial runs the feasibility of an expanded experimental program can be assessed.
