Abstract

A facility for generating a high intensity slow positron beam using an electron linear accelerator has been constructed. A conversion efficiency of 6×10−7 slow positrons per incident electron has been obtained for 75 MeV electrons. Storage and stretching of pulsed slow positrons have been successfully carried out with a Penning trap.
