The worlds most intense positron beam NEPOMUC (NEutron induced POsitron source MUniCh) is located at the new research reactor FRM-II. Efficient traps for positron storage provide positron beams with extremely high energy resolution (presently 20 meV). This project facilitates the combination of the respective devices developed for positron production, storage, beams as well as solid-state physics experiments. The enhancement of the most intense positron source with the most efficient positron storage technology would enable the development of novel trap based positron beam techniques. Hence, low-energy, high energy resolution studies of atoms, molecules, atomic clusters and a variety of materials including metal surfaces could be performed.
