It operates in a short pulse (width 1-12 ns, variable, 5×10^6 e^+/s) and a long pulse (width 1.2 μs, 5x10^7 e^+/s) modes of 50 Hz. High energy positrons from pair creation are moderated by reemission after thermalization in W foils. The reemitted positrons are then electrostatically accelerated to a desired energy up to 35 keV and magnetically transported. A pulse-stretching section (pulse stretcher) is installed in the middle of the beamline. It stretches the slow positron pulse for the experiments where too many positrons annihilating in the sample at the same time has to be avoided. Four experiment stations for TRHEPD (total-reflection high-energy positron diffraction), LEPD (low-energy positron diffraction), Ps– (positronium negative ion), and Ps-TOF (positronium time-of-flight) experiments are connected to the beamline branches, SPF-A3, SPF-A4, SPF-B1 and SPF-B2, respectively. Recent results of these stations are briefly described.}, pages = {040004-1--10}, publisher = {AIP Publishing}, title = {Slow positron applications at slow positron facility of institute of materials structure science, KEK}, volume = {1970}, year = {2018} }
