Abstract
In order to realize a commercial system with a user-friendly interface for positron annihilation lifetime (PAL) measurements, we have applied our previously developed anti-coincidence method to a compact system, controlled by dedicated software with a data analysis module. The functionality of the data-analysis code was confirmed by examining the reproducibility of input average lifetimes for calculated PAL histograms. A prototype for the commercial system was constructed and the validity of the analysis using the system was ensured by measuring a reference material.Keywords
