Abstract

Kayak-paddle look-like damping ring developed as injector for a laser driven linear accelerator with microstructures, allows beam emittance, which is defined by quantum effects in electron-positron gas of particles in the bunch. Utilization of co-directionally moving congruent electron and positron bunches allowing production of positronium beam with ∼1010 parapositroniums per second. This arrangement might be a step toward investigation of the nature of Fermi-degeneration in moving beams.
