The Oak Ridge National Laboratory slow positron source

OSTI ID:7042654
The Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator (ORELA) has been retrofitted with a facility to convert forward scattered gamma bremsstrahlung to positrons. Currents of 10/sup 8/ slow positrons per second, and 10/sup 9/ fast positrons per second are delivered. The fast and slow beams can be separated and used for dual experiments. The facility operates in a parasitic mode, such that it does not interfere with the on-going nuclear program. Additional operating costs for positron production are negligible. Positrons are made available continuously, 5 days per week. A Penning trap has been constructed and will be installed for a dc positron current supply. 3 refs., 2 figs.
