(Linac-based Slow Positron Factory'' facility)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6099065

The Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) is considering the building of a linac-based Slow Positron Factory'' facility at the Takasaki Radiation Chemistry Research Establishment. An expenditure of $130M is anticipated. The facility will be similar to the ORELA slow positron facility at ORNL. Dr. S. Okada from Takasaki has visited ORNL twice for consulting. The main purpose of the Tokyo workshop was to allow JAERI headquarters to evaluate the field of slow positron applications and decide whether or not to commit funding. At this workshop the traveler presented the honorary invited lecture on linac-based slow positron sources and their applications. The positron experts meeting at Tsukuba University was a technical dialogue researchers on positron applications. It is noteworthy that Japanese industries such as Hitachi and NEC were heavily represented at this meeting. They are making use of positron technology and are sponsoring research. At the Takasaki Radiation Chemistry Research Establishment the traveler visited the site of the future Positron Factory.''
