Spin polarization of low-energy positron beams
- 1. Department of Physics, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109
Description
It is discovered that the 1-eV positrons formed on an MgO-coated moderator with use of positrons from a 58Co source are polarized with degree of polarization P=0.22/sup +0.04//sub -0.02/. Improved design could increase P to 0.40 with a flux of 105-106/sec. Applications of this discovery are discussed
