Abstract

We outline a new kinetic theory for positrons in soft matter, which blends together cross sections for positrons scattering from single molecules, with the structure function of the medium as a whole. Numerical results are presented for positrons in liquid argon, where negative differential conductivity arises from both positron formation and the structure of the medium.
