Abstract
A Penning trap was constructed at the Ghent LINAC-based slow positron beam. It allows us to store the positrons without considerable loss in intensity and to create a quasi-continuous beam so that positron Dopp ler broadening measurements are possible. Starting from the stored pos itrons it is also possible to create a pulsed beam with pulse width of the order of 100 ns so that time-of-flight measurements are possible.
