Age-Momentum Correlation (AMOC) can observe the Doppler broadening of time-resolved annihilation gamma rays. The annihilation rate depends on the positron state, and it is possible to know if positrons are trapped in structural defects in a sample. Moreover, the Doppler broadening gives the information of impurities around the defects. Positrons from radioactive isotopes cannot penetrate a deep region of bulk material. The application of radioisotopes is difficult for the measurements under severe conditions such as in high pressure or a high temperature. Therefore, we have developed a GiAMOC (Gamma-ray induced AMOC) system, which is a measurement method for generating positrons in a sample using inverse Thomson scattered gamma rays in UVSOR-III. In addition, the developed measurement system was used to measure the reference material for positron lifetime measurement.

Positron annihilation spectroscopy is a powerful analytical method that can observe single-atom vacant defects in crystals and micro voids in insulating materials. UVSOR-III installed at the Institute of Molecular Science is promoting the development and user use of Gamma-ray induced positron annihilation spectroscopy (GiPAS) by ultrashort pulse gamma rays. Since the ultrashort pulse gamma rays generate positrons inside the material by pair production, positron annihilation experiments of bulk materials with a thickness of several cm can be performed non-destructively. We have succeeded in the generation of ultrashort pulse gamma rays and positron annihilation experiments such as the lifetime measurement and the positron age-momentum correlation measurement.

Laser Thomson/Compton scattering is a unique technique to generate gamma-rays with features such as quasi-monochromatic and tunable energy, highly polarized, low divergence angle, and low background. We have developed GiPALS using an ultra-short pulsed gamma-ray generated at the synchrotron radiation facility UVSOR-III. The gamma-rays are generated via laser Thomson scattering with 90 degree collisions between a 750-MeV electron beam and a Ti:Sa laser. The pulse width of the gamma-rays is calculated to be 5 ps (FWHM). The gamma-ray induced positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (GiPALS) is currently available for users. In addition to GiPALS, we develop gamma-ray induced age-momentum correlation (GiAMOC), which measures the lifetime and Doppler broadening of annihilation gamma-rays simultaneously. In this conference, we will present a generation method of the ultra-short pulsed gamma-rays and details of GiPALS and GiAMOC.

We are developing gamma-ray-induced positron annihilation spectroscopy at UVSOR-III. This method enables defect analysis of the entire bulk sample with a thickness of several cm, which was difficult to measure with the conventional method using a positron radiation source. Currently, the user use of the positron lifetime measurement method is being developed, and in parallel with this, the coincidence Doppler broadening method, the age-momentum correlation measurement method, and the spin-polarized positron spectroscopy are being developed. Here, we will describe the development status of them.

UVSOR-III installed at the Institute of Molecular Science promotes the development and user use of Gamma-ray induced positron annihilation spectroscopy (GiPAS) by ultrashort pulse gamma rays. Since the ultrashort pulse gamma rays generate positrons inside the material by pair production, positron annihilation experiments of bulk materials with a thickness of several cm can be performed non-destructively. In addition, since the sample is irradiated with gamma rays from the outside, measurement can be performed in an environment such as high temperature, high pressure, and immersion. We report on the generation of ultrashort pulse gamma rays and the development status of the positron lifetime measurement, and the positron age-momentum correlation measurement.

We applied the ultra-short pulsed gamma rays to positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS). PAS using high energy gamma-rays, called gamma induced PAS (GiPAS), has several advantages compared with PAS using radioisotopes. (i) It enables defect analysis of thick material in a few centimetres because positrons are created throughout a bulk material via pair production by irradiation with gamma-rays having high penetration into the material. (ii) There is no contribution of positrons annihilated in the covering material of the shield sources, making the data analysis easy and accurate.

Positron annihilation spectroscopy is a powerful analytical method that can measure vacant defects in crystals and microvoids in insulating materials. UVSOR-III is developing gamma-ray-induced positron annihilation spectroscopy using ultrashort pulse gamma rays. Specifically, we have succeeded in positron annihilation lifetime (PAL) measurement and positron age-momentum correlation (AMOC) measurement. PAL has succeeded in directly measuring the spectrum of only the sample. In addition, AMOC also succeeded in observing the positron annihilation only in the samples, which shows the different momentum distribution for the different defect states. At present, coincidence Doppler broadening (COB) measurement is also available, and a CDB spectrum with only positron annihilation from the sample will be obtained by the newly developed analysis program.

BL1U is a beamline that researches the development of new light sources and the exploration of usage methods. We are generating 6.6 MeV ultrashort pulse gamma rays using a Ti: Sa laser with a wavelength of 800 nm and are researching gamma ray-induced positron annihilation spectroscopy (GiPALS). GiPALS is a method that measures the lifetime of positrons by measuring the emission time distribution of annihilation gamma rays and can analyze the type and size of defects inside a sample. GiPALS is available to users for in-situ measurements of defect formation in metallic materials during stress loading and measurements of bulk samples such as ferrous materials, catalytic materials, and scintillators.
