Monte Carlo analysis of the contributions of long-lived positronium to the spectra of positron-impact-induced secondary electrons measured using an annihilation-gamma-triggered time-of-flight spectrometer
S. Lotfimarangloo, V. A. Chirayath, S. Mukherjee +5
Magnetic bottle Time-of-Flight (ToF) spectrometers can measure the energy spectra of all electrons emitted into a 2 sr solid angle simultaneously, greatly reducing data collecti…
Photoemission spectroscopy using virtual photons emitted by positron sticking: a new probe of the top layer surface electronic structure
Alexander J Fairchild, Varghese A. Chirayath, Bernardo Barbiellini +3
We present a spectroscopic method which utilizes virtual photons to selectively measure the electronic structure of the top-most atomic layer. These virtual photons are created whe…
Identification of Auger mechanisms responsible for low energy electron emission from graphene on copper using Auger-gamma coincidence spectroscopy

We present a novel method for the analysis of the Doppler broadened spectrum of gamma photons emitted following the annihilation of surface trapped positrons with the electrons of…
Efficient Machine Learning Approach for Optimizing the Timing Resolution of a High Purity Germanium Detector
R. W. Gladen, V. A. Chirayath, A. J. Fairchild +3
We describe here an efficient machine-learning based approach for the optimization of parameters used for extracting the arrival time of waveforms, in particular those generated by…
Direct evidence for low-energy electron emission following O LVV Auger transitions at oxide surfaces
Alexander J. Fairchild, Varghese A. Chirayath, Philip A. Sterne +3
Oxygen, the third most abundant element in the universe, plays a key role in the chemistry of condensed matter and biological systems. Here, we report evidence for a hitherto unexp…

We present Doppler broadened gamma spectra, obtained using the newly developed advanced positron beam at the University of Texas at Arlington, from a sample consisting of 6 to 8 la…
Positronium formation in graphene and graphite
V. A. Chirayath, A. J. Fairchild, R. W. Gladen +3
Positronium (Ps) formation on the surface of clean polycrystalline copper (Cu), highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and multi layer graphene (MLG) grown on a polycrystalline…
Direct observation of electron emission as a result of a VVV Auger transition in the valence band of Graphene
V. A. Chirayath, V. Callewaert, M. D. Chrysler +11
We report the first direct observation of electron emission into the vacuum as a result of a VVV Auger transition resulting from the relaxation of a deep hole in the valence band.…
