We have developed ultra-short, pulsed gamma rays at the synchrotron radiation facility UVSOR-III by a 90-degree collision between a 750-MeV electron beam and a Ti:Sa laser pulse. The maximum energy of the gamma rays is 6.6 MeV and the pulse width is calculated to be sub-ps to ps ranges. We applied this ultra-short, pulsed gamma rays to positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS). A positron is an excellent probe of atomic-scale defects in solids such as vacancies, dislocations, and clusters and of free volumes in polymers. PAS using a high energy gamma-ray, which is called gamma induced PAS (GiPAS), has several advantages compared with PAS using Na-22. We will present a generation method of the ultra-short, pulsed gamma rays and details of GiPAS.
