The first gamma spectra associated with the annihilation of positrons with individual core levels (Cu 3p and Ag 4p) are presented. The spectra were obtained by measuring the energy of gamma rays time coincident with Auger electrons emitted as a result of positrons annihilating with a selected core level. Relativistic calculations show good agreement with experiment over a limited range of momenta. However, statistically significant differences indicate that the measurements can provide an impetus to new calculations of many body effects in positron-core electrons annihilation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
