摘要: Abstract For the GBAR (Gravitational Behaviour of Antihydrogen at Rest) experiment CERN’s Antiproton Decelerator (AD) facility we have constructed a source slow positrons, which uses low-energy electron linear accelerator (linac). The driver linac produces electrons 9 MeV kinetic energy that create positrons from bremsstrahlung-induced pair production. Staying below 10 MeV ensures no persistent radioactive activation in target zone and radiation level outside biological shield is safe for public access. An annealed tungsten-mesh assembly placed directly behind acts as positron moderator. system 5 × 1 0 7 per second, performance demonstrating superior choice over positron-emitting sources high flux.
