Description
Monte Carlo calculations were performed using EGS4 to simulate the production of positrons by a high-energy electron beam incident on thin wire targets. A 1 mm diameter, 10 radiation length long tungsten-alloy wire was chosen as an optimal target. The new target, combined with an appropriate capture strategy, could triple the yield of the high-energy positron production systems currently in use. (orig.)
