Abstract
The generation and applications of monoenergetic, high intensity, spin-polarized positron (e+) beams are reviewed. Techniques for obtaining highly polarized beams are discussed. Applications include studies of surface and bulk magnetism, studies of optically active molecules, tests of discrete symmetries, and polarized antiproton production.
