Doppler broadening of in-flight positron annihilation radiation due to electron momentum.
We report the first observation of electron momentum contributions to the Doppler broadening of radiation produced by in-flight two-photon annihilation in solids. In these experiments an approximately 2.5 MeV positron beam impinged on thin polyethylene, aluminum, and gold targets. Since energetic positrons easily penetrate the nuclear Coulomb potential and do not cause a strong charge polarizat...
متن کاملDeconvolution of positron annihilation coincidence Doppler broadening spectra using an iterative projected Newton method with non-negativity constraints
A generalized least-square method with Tikonov–Miller regularization and non-negativity constraints has been developed for deconvoluting two-dimensional coincidence Doppler broadening spectroscopy ͑CDBS͒ spectra. A projected Newton algorithm is employed to solve the generalized least-square problem. The algorithm has been tested on Monte Carlo generated spectra to find the best regularization par...
متن کاملPositron annihilation studies in binary solid solutions of metal betadiketonates, using lifetime and Doppler broadening spectroscopies
S Positron annihilation lifetime (LS) and Doppler broadening annihilation kadiation lineshape (DBARL) spectroscopies measurements were performed in several binary solid solutions of the general formula M(l-x,Gfx,L3 , where M = Al(II1) , Ga(II1) , or In(II1) , as matrix; G = Cr (111) , Mn (111) , Fe (111) , co (111) , Ru (111) , Rh(III), and Ir(III), as guest molecules, L = acetylacetone (acac) ...
متن کاملPositron tomography of breast cancer in a community hospital: A case study of advanced disease using a coincidence gamma camera
Until recently PET scanning has been available only at major universities or teaching hospitals possessing the necessary resources and expertise to operate a research PET facility. Most dedicated PET centers cost several millions of dollars, and include a cyclotron, a radiochemistry laboratory to synthesize PET radiopharmaceuticals, a multicrystal dedicated PET camera, advanced computer f...
متن کاملA coincidence scintillation spectrometer
The coincidence spectrometer consists of two scintillation spectrometers, each of which can be used as either a beta-ray or a gamma-ray spectrometer, depending on what crystals are used. The pulses from the first spectrometer are analyzed with a single channel analyzer. The pulses corresponding to a certain energy are picked out with the analyzer and are fed into one channel of a coincidence ci...
