21. This estimate is based on thermalization data in pores similar to those used here. See, H. Saito and T. Hyodo in New Directions in Antimatter Chemistry and Physics, edited by C.M. Surko and F.A. Gianturco (Kluwer, Dordrecht, 2001), p. 101.
22. This parameter was calculated using a mean positron beam energy of 1.5 keV. J. Algers, P. Sperr, W. Egger, G. Kögel, and F.H.J. Maurer, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 67, 125404 (2003). 10.1103/PhysRevB.67.125404

25. Another difference between the two samples is that S2 exhibited significant radiation damage following exposure to the positron beam. This limited the amount of data that could be acquired in a single run, but did not otherwise affect the experiments described here. Details are given in D.B. Cassidy and A.P. Mills, Jr., Nucl. Instrum. Methods Phys. Res., Sect. B NIMBEU 0168-583X 262, 59 (2007). 10.1016/j.nimb.2007.04.220
