“…These gases have been studied experimentally by Canter (1972), Griffith et al (1979), Heyland et al (1982) and Charlton (1985), and theoretically by Schrader and Svetic (1982) and Campeanu (1982). Schrader and Svetic (1982) investigated the equilibrium behaviour of positrons as a function of temperature, while Campeanu (1982) calculated the time-dependent characteristics of positrons, but there has been no investigation of the effect of electric and magnetic fields on the annihilation of positrons in these gases, though it is well known that these fields appreciably influence the positron lifetime and other properties in gases, as investigated by Singh and Grover (1986).…”
