| Age momentum correlation experiments in kapton has revealed the existence of two positron states corresponding to the trapping of positrons on the partially negatively charged O and/or N sites in the polymer chain. A young age broadening of the annihilation line shape is also observed and is attributed to the annihilation in flight of the positrons. |
