Scattering effects in a positron lifetime beam line
Electrons can be used as test particles of the pulsed positron lifetime beam. The beam should be designed so that electron scattering effects do not distort the timing spectrum. To study these effects we have developed a simulation program which takes into account the collisions of the particles with beam structures and calculates the final time distribution. This program has been used in the design of an improved chopper for positron lifetime beam.
