We report on the construction and performance of a magnetically confined slow positron beam. The beam is designed for surface physics and near-surface disorder studies and it operates in ultrahigh vacuum with a base pressure of 3 nPa. The beam uses a Co-58 source with a backscattering W(110) single crystal moderator. We get 4.7 × 106 slow positrons per second striking the sample using a 300 mCi source corresponding to a fast-to-slow positron conversion efficiency 0.28 ± 0.02%. The energy of the incident positrons can be varied from 1 eV to 35 keV. Some applications concerning positron re-emission and diffusion as well as positronium desorption from a surface state are shown.
