The initial beam diameter (4 mm) was reduced to 80 Î¼m. However, this spatial resolution is not high enough. To focus beam more, a small positron source should be fabricated. In this work, we developed a positron microbeam by a small source, a solid neon moderator, magnetic lenses and a SEM optics. In addition, a beam pulsing system was also developed which allows the positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) measurement.
The first American to orbit the Earth, John Glenn made history again when, at the age of 77, he became the oldest person to travel in space. But before he was nationally recognized as a hero, he had put his life on the line for his country many times.
There are three kinds of answers: ones that are mostly right, ones that are mostly wrong, and those that once were right but now are wrong. While John Glenn is usually given credit, as he was the first American to orbit the Earth, the first in space was actually Alan Shepard Jr. (1923-1998).
