[FIGURE 4 OMITTED] The analysis program calculates the individual phototube efficiencies, thereby allowing for correction due to asymmetry in the counting; rates in each of the detection efficiency due to detection of the 511 KeV annihilation photons was taken into account by using the positron spectrum calculated by the program SPEBETA (21) as input for the Monte Carlo simulation package PENELOPE (22) using the techniques described in (23).
