Introduction
Principles of PAS
The ne represents the overlap integral of the electron and positron densities
This guess is significantly higher than the experimental observations of positron lifetimes in metals. The reason
is in neglecting enhancement of the local electron density at the positron site caused by Coulomb attraction
between the positron and mobile conduction electrons of the host. The enhancement factors in metals amount
typically to 4 5 leading thus to values of t 100 200 ps, in agreement with experiments.

Exclusions of this rule, however, may occur in insulators, where energy losses due to collisions of host
electrons are not as effective as in metals or semiconductors.
