    摘要: The invention is directed to a defect imaging device that has an energy beam that is directed at a device under test. The energy beam creates positrons deep within the material of the device under test. When the positrons combine with electrons in the material they produce a pair of annihilation photons. The annihilation photons are detected. The Doppler broadening of the annihilation photons is used to determine if a defect is present in the material. Three dimensional images of the device under test are created by directing the energy beam at different portions of the device under test.

    摘要: A method is shown for measuring naturally occurring pores in a specimen material. A positron is emitted from a radioactive source and enters a material to pick up an electron to form positronium. The positronium decays very rapidly into two gamma rays. The lifetime of the positronium depends on the size of the pore it is trapped within. The larger the pore, the longer the positronium will last. By measuring the decay rate of positrons over an extended time scale in the range from 30 to 500 nsec., a near relation can be developed between positronium lifetime and pore diameter.

    摘要: A sheet beam x-ray source having energy components greater than 1.02 Mev is passed through an object under study. The emitted gamma rays due to pair production are measured using a positron-sensitive coincidence counting system on either side of the excited section. The location of each detected event is made using the positron information of each detector and the location of the excited section. An image is rapidly formed which is sensitive to the atomic number and density of materials in the cross section of the object.
