Positron annihilation spectroscopy is a well established research tool to study the surface and bulk electron distributions of solids and liquids. These are extracted from the energy and angular distributions of the two 511 keV X-rays, produced during the annihilation of a thermal positron and an electron from the sample. Positron investigations and monitoring, however are currently not used in an industrial environment due to the lack of a sufficiently intense positron sources to record distribution functions with good statistics within minutes. Most positron spectrometers have radioactive sources which produce only modest intensities (10 6 e + /s). An improvement by at least a factor of 100 is needed to become viable for on-line positron metrology. We propose to combine several technologies to generate a positron beam with good electron-optical properties, such as a small divergence angle and small beam diameter and a flux of 10 8 e + /s or more. Positrons from a 10 Ci beta source will be moderated with a stack of 12 layers of tungsten meshes. The thermalized positrons will be accelerated into a deflection focusing analyzer (DFA) which focuses the positrons into a small (1-2 mm 2 ) area of a second moderator. A rare gas solid will be used to thermalize the positrons once more. The moderating area forms the small emitter source for a accelerating gun that generate a beam of mono-energetic positrons of any desired energy.
