	Positron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When a low-energy positron collides with a low-energy electron, undergoing an annihilation event, their mass is converted into the kinetic energy of two gamma ray photons (see electron-positron annihilation).
		The existence of positrons was first postulated in 1928 by Paul Dirac as an inevitable consequence of the Dirac equation.
		Anderson also unsuccessfully suggested renaming electrons "negatrons." The positron was the first evidence of antimatter and was discovered by passing cosmic rays through a gas chamber and a lead plate surrounded by a magnet to distinguish the particles by bending differently charged particles in different directions.

	Positron (City of Heroes) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Positron (Dr. Raymond Keyes) is a fictional superhero from the City of Heroes backstory.
		During this arc in the series, Positron and Synapse would become entrusted in protecting Candy Lebeaux, one of three people with the cosmic potential the Circle of Thorns needed to summon their patron god.
		Positron has the ability to general and control anti-matter, which upon contact with regular matter, generally explodes.

	Positron Physics at COMP
		The positron is the antiparticle of the electron: it has the same mass as the electron but its charge is positive.
		Then the positron is in a quantum-mechanical state in which the strong positron - positive nuclei repulsion is a prominent feature pushing the positron density away from ion core regions.
		If the positron is trapped by a vacancy-type defect in a solid its lifetime increases from that of a delocalized positron due to the reduced electron density.

	The LLNL Electron-Positron Beams Facility (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The positron facility provides a wide range of capabilities, including high-current beams for investigation of bulk materials properties, low-emittance beams for studies of one-component plasmas, and a positron microprobe.
		Experiments underway at the positron facility are probing the mechanisms by which defects arise in materials, of vital importance for science-based stockpile stewardship in this era of a comprehensive ban on nuclear weapons testing.
		Two-photon annihilation is the dominant decay mode for positrons in a material; unless a positron collides with an electron, it is stable.

		The positron facility at LLNL is designed to produce positrons with a wide range of characteristics, and to deliver them to a number of experimental apparatuses.
		Tungsten has a negative "work function" for positrons; positrons in the material are ejected from the surface with an energy distribution approximately equal to that of the electrons in the material.
		Positrons produced in the linac target are captured into a "stretcher," which reduces their energy and intensifies the pulses.

		Positron emission stabilizes the nucleus by removing a positive charge through the conversion of a proton into a neutron.
		The positron combines with an ordinary electron of a nearby atom in an annihilation reaction, forming positronium as an intermediate.
		When a positron comes in contact with an electron, the two particles annihilate turning the mass of the two particles into two 511-keV gamma-rays that are emitted at 180-degree to each other.

	Positron Emission Tomography
		Positron emission tomography (PET scan) is a test that combines computed tomography (CT) and nuclear scanning.
		A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is done in a hospital nuclear medicine department or at a special PET center by a radiologist or nuclear medicine specialist and a nuclear medicine technologist.
		Positron emission tomography (PET) scanning is not usually recommended during pregnancy because the radiation could damage a developing fetus.

	Define positron - a definition from Whatis.com
		A positron is a particle of matter with the same mass as an electron, but opposite charge.
		It is a form of antimatter because, when a positron encounters an electron, the two completely annihilate to yield energy.
		The existence of the positron was predicted in 1928 by physicist Paul Dirac, and positrons were discovered experimentally in 1932 by physicist Carl Anderson.

		The ATHENA Positron Accumulator accumulates its positrons from a slow positron beamline that is a technological evolution of those early concepts of how to make a positron beam.
		Positrons are not a common occurrence in nature, just like any other form of antimatter.
		Since a positron beam originating from a radioactive source is by nature continious we can not use a method with opening and closing a gate electrode like we do for the antiproton pulses.

		The averaged room responses show that the Positron's bass alignment is well suited to free-space siting, although some wall proximity is unlikely to do much harm.
		The Positron received very similar marks and comments on two separate presentations, when the panel showed unusual unanimity and consistency in placing it a little below average overall.
		In acoustic terms, Positron is the smallest speaker within the test group, and suffers somewhat when compared to significantly larger alternatives available at a similar price.
