Abstract

In this study we simulate positron transport properties for various configurations of the gases and electric fields used in the Australian Positron Beamline Facility positron trap, which is based on the Surko buffer-gas trap. In an attempt to further improve the time and energy resolution of the trap and thus the associated scattering experiments, we apply a Monte-Carlo simulation procedure to a variety of possible configurations of the dumping stage of the trap.
