Annihilation Probability

The angular correlation of photons from the two-photon decay of positrons has been measured for positrons annihilating in some 34 elements, mostly metals. These data give the momentum distribution of photons and hence of the center of mass of the annihilating electron–positron pairs. The momentum distributions are discussed in terms of the velocity dependence of the annihilation probability. It is concluded that the observed momentum distributions are primarily the momentum distributions of the conduction electrons in the metals. A higher momentum component is observed, which is attributed to ion core effects.

Annihilation Photon

A coherent potential approximation (CPA) treatment of positron annihilation in an alloy is presented. Simple formulae for the spatial and the momentum distributions of the positrons are derived. Numerical computations are performed to illustrate the effects of the smearing of the positron momentum distribution and of the electron Fermi momentum of the annihilation photon momentum distribution.
