摘要
The two-detector coincidence positron annihilation system at Washington State University was used to observe three-photon annihilation events of positrons. The decay of ortho-positronium (o-Ps) can be distinguished for para Ps decay and positron two photon annihilations by the unique difference energy distribution. The apparatus was used to detect rare three-photon annihilations of positrons in metals. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
