Abstract

Positron annihilation spectroscopy is a powerful tool to quantify the amount of vacancies and vacancy clusters in materials. The technique has been utilized to study the induced defects in materials after ion beam and neutron irradiations. This paper makes the case for how the technique can and should be utilized to quantify the defects created by irradiation in situ during irradiation to foster a more thorough understanding of the surviving defects after initial collision cascades. This paper outlines a future experimental approach and its meaning for the nuclear materials community, being able to benchmark commonly used rate theory models of damage evolution.
