Abstract

The emission efficiencies of positronium atoms and positronium negative ions from tungsten surfaces increase by alkali-metal coating. We have studied the positronium emission from alkali-metal coated surfaces using the positronium time-of-flight method. We have also performed the observation of the photodetachment of Ps emitted from a Na-coated surface and the production of an energy-tunable Ps beam employing the photodetachment technique. This paper describes our recent studies using alkali-metal coated surfaces.
