Abstract

The efficiency of tungsten meshes and thin foils for moderation of fast positrons from 22Na has been investigated in transmission geometry and a fair agreement has been found with previous experimental results where directly comparable. For foils, the dependence on material thickness is found to be similar to the prediction of the Vehanen-M€akinen diffusion model; however, the magnitude is 5–10 times lower. A broad consensus is observed between experiment and the results of a three-dimensional model developed in this work. For a given thickness, meshes are found to be generally better than foils by around a factor of 10 with a maximum efficiency (�10�3) comparable to that achieved with thin single crystal foils, in accord with previous measurements and the results of the present model.
