Are the Positron Peaks Caused by Internal Electron-Positron Pair Conversion?

  • Chapter

Abstract

In this introduction we first indicate the significance of internal electron-positron pair conversion [1–7] as background process to the positron spectra from giant quasiatoms. The next section briefly deals with the basic theoretical formalism. The performed approximations are emphasized. After that we investigate the possible role of conversion processes a) in the actinide region (Z ≂ 90), b) in giant systems (Z > 150) and c) in heavy ion fragments (Z ≲ 20). Finally we present a brief conclusion.
