PHOTONS FROM POSITRON BEAMS IN THE GeV RANGE

Journal Article · · Nuclear Instr. & Methods
High energy positrons in liquid hydrogen produce, in addition to bremsstrahlung, pairs of quanta by annihilation with atomic electrons. Separation of the anninilation and bremsstrahlung radiation should be obtained at a small angle to the positron beam. This appears to offer a method of producing Bev photons relatively free from bremsstrshlung. The technique could be especially applicable to bubble chamber investigations of strange particle and other photoproduction reactions. (auth)
