چکیده

An instrument has been designed and constructed to provide new insights into fundamental, low energy positron scattering processes. The design is based on the Surko trap system and produces a pulsed positron beam with an energy resolution of as good as 54 meV. The design and operation of the apparatus is explained, while the first experimental results from this apparatus have been demonstrated in recent publications.

Low-energy positron scattering from atoms and molecules using positron accumulation techniques

Positron scattering from atoms and molecules is studied at low values of incident positron energy. The experiments use a cold magnetized positron beam formed in a positron accumulator. A discussion of positron scattering in a magnetic ®eld is presented along with di€erential cross-sections (DCS) for positron±atom collisions and positron± molecule total vibrational excitation cross-sections. Abs...

Low energy positron interactions with uracil--total scattering, positronium formation, and differential elastic scattering cross sections.

Measurements of the grand total and total positronium formation cross sections for positron scattering from uracil have been performed for energies between 1 and 180 eV, using a trap-based beam apparatus. Angular, quasi-elastic differential cross section measurements at 1, 3, 5, 10, and 20 eV are also presented and discussed. These measurements are compared to existing experimental results and ...

Design and Construction of a New Holographic Optical Tweezers Apparatus

In the last decade, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Optical Tweezers (OT) have revolutionised molecular science by measuring picoNewton forces over lengthscales from 1 to 104 Å. Our research focuses upon experiments using the technique of OT, but we are also involved in theory and simulation that is complementary to these OT measurements. The OT apparatus is based upon a focused laser beam th...

Atomic and Molecular Physics Using Positron Traps and Trap-based Beams

Techniques to accumulate and cool positrons in Penning traps provide new tools to study atomic and molecular physics and chemistry. This chapter presents an overview of studies of the interaction of low-energy positrons with atoms and molecules using these methods. In the vacuum environment of a trap, isolated twobody interactions of positrons with atoms and molecules can be studied with precis...
