    Annotation Temperature dependent positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) measurements in the range of 50?300 K are carried out to study positronium formation in 40 keV B+-ion implanted polymethylmethacrylate (B:PMMA) with two ion doses of 3.13?1015 and 3.75?1016 ions/cm2. The investigated samples show the various temperature trends of ortho-positronium (o-Ps) lifetime τ3 and intensity I3 in PMMA before and after ion im-plantation. Two transitions in the vicinity of ∼150 and ∼250 K, ascribed to γ and β transitions, respectively, are observed in the PMMA and B:PMMA samples in consistent with reference data for pristine sample. The ob-tained results are compared with room temperature PALS study of PMMA with different molecular weight (Mw) which known from literature. It is found that B+-ion implantation leads to decreasing Mw in PMMA at lower ion dose. At higher ion dose the local destruction of polymeric structure follows to broadening of lifetime distribu-tion (hole size distribution).
