Exploration of New Chemistry with a Super-intense Positron Beam

在SGER奖中，由化学部门实验物理化学项目支持，密苏里大学堪萨斯城分校的Yanching“Jerry”Jean教授和马奎特大学的David M. Schraeder教授将进行研究，开发一个非常强烈的慢正电子源，用于用这些外来粒子进行不寻常的化学研究。该装置将基于目前在阿贡国家实验室可用的直线加速器。这项研究的最终目标是开发一种具有足够强度的后强子源，以实现独特的化学反应：从作为独特的电离源到作为合成含有反物质分子的手段。这项研究还将有助于在这一不同寻常的研究领域培养一名博士后。

In this SGER award, supported by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Prof. Yanching "Jerry" Jean of the University of Missouri - Kansas City and Prof. David M. Schraeder of Marquette University will conduct research to develop a very intense source of slow positrons for conducting unusual chemical research with these exotic particles. The device would be based upon a LINAC that is currently available at Argonne National Laboratory. The ultimate goal of this research is to develop a postron source that has sufficient intensity that would allow unique chemistry to be pursued: ranging from its use as a unique ionization source to its use as a means of synthesizing anti-matter-containing molecules.The research will also contribute to the education and training of a post-doctoral fellow in this unusual area of research.
