Positron Source
Positron Source Positrons in ALPHA originate from a radioactive isotope of sodium Na-22. The Na-22 source is manufactured at iThemba Labs in Cape Town, South Africa and then shipped in a special container to CERN following international protocols for the transport of radioactive substances. Na-22 has a long half-life of 2.6 years, and therefore emits
