Abstract
The interaction of positrons emitted by a radioactive source with a thorium target was studied. Positron and electron energy spectra were measured in coincidence by using mini-orange spectrometers and high-resolution Si(Li) detectors. Peak structure which could be related to a new phenomenon has not been found in the spectra. All of the lines observed are explained in terms of well-known nuclear or atomic mechanisms.
