A single shot gamma-induced positron spectroscopy based on laser wakefield accelerator

Single shot gamma-induced positron annihilation spectroscopy (GiPS) based on a laser wakefield accelerator is proposed. In this spectroscopy, a large number of gamma rays generated by laser-wakefield accelerated electrons are injected into a sample in a very short time (<2 ps), and the positron l...
