Description

A reaction microscope that will enable angle-differential positron impact ionisation measurements with atomic and molecular targets, has been recently designed and built to meet the specifications of the Australian Positron Beamline Facility. We present details of this new device, highlighting the modifications to the well-established technique that are required for compatibility with a positron beam, and report on the experimental parameters and detection scheme for the first experiments.
