Analysis of annihilation positron and electron and additional opportunities of the positron-emission tomography

Abstract

The reasons of angular photon distribution occurrence at electron-positron annihilation are considered. It is shown, that angular photon distribution is consequence of Dopplers effect in the reference frame of the electron and positron mass center. In the reference frame bound with moving electron the angular photon distribution is absent. But it is replaced by the Dopplers shift of photons frequencies. The received results are applied to the analysis of a positron-emission tomograph work.
