Description

We report here the design of ultra high vacuum (UHV) compatible pulsed positron beam lifetime system, which combines the principles of a conventional slow positron beam and RF based pulsing scheme. The mechanical design and construction of the UHV system to house the beam has been completed and it has been tested for a vacuum of ∼ 10-10 mbar. The voltages applied to the drift tube as a function of positron energies have been optimized using SIMION.
