Abstract

An injector of the low energy positrons for the accumulator LEPTA has being assembled at JINR. The injector is based on 22Na radioactive source. Positrons from the source are moderated in the solid neon. The cryogenic source of slow positrons has been tested with a isotope 22Na of the initial activity of 0.8 MBk. The continuous slow positron beam with average energy of 1.2 eV, width of a spectrum 1 eV has been obtained. The achieved moderator efficiency is about 1 %.

The accumulation process in the positron trap was investigated with electron flux. The life time of the electrons in the trap, τlife≥80 s and capture efficiency ε~0.4 have been obtained. The maximum number of the accumulated particle was Nexper = 2∙108 at the initial flux of 5∙106 electrons per sec.
