Guiding of a slow positron beam with a glass capillary

Abstract

Slow positron beam was injected into a non-tapered glass capillary which was tilted angle of θ from the beam axis by a movable stage. Beam profiles of the positrons transported through the capillary were observed with a phosphor screen combined with micro channel plates as a function of θ. Some fraction of positrons was deflected with the tilting angle of the capillary. © (2009) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
