Abstract

The slow positron beam system is an important device in the study of positron physics and techniques, especially in materials research. This paper presents obtained results in studying and applying a charged particles trajectory simulation program – Simion for building feasible design models for the system. The built models with different designs based on reference designs of some typical systems include a straight-shaped model, a 500 bent-shaped model and a 900 bent-shaped model. Some positron beam trajectory calculation tests have been performed for comparison between the models. From the tests, the 500 bent-shaped model has been proposed as a conceptual design for building a real slow positron beam system in the future in Vietnam.
