Abstract
Single-shot positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (SSPALS) is an extremely useful tool for experiments involving the positronium atom (Ps). I examine some of the methods that are typically employed to analyze lifetime spectra, and use a Monte-Carlo simulation to explore the advantages and limitations these have in laser spectroscopy experiments, such as resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) or the production of Rydberg Ps.
