Abstract	Recently, we published the first all-sky map at 511 keV (Knoedlseder et al., 2004), which clearly showed that the positron annihilation radiation from our galaxy is concentrated around the galactic center. The observed emission could not be unambiguously decomposed into bulge, halo, and disk components. We propose to resolve the ambiguity concerning a halo component by observing at intermediate latitudes (b=+/-25deg) North and South of the galactic center for 2*10^6 s each. Any 511 keV line emission from these regions is dominated by the halo component. The proposed observations are therefore ideally suited to establish the existence of, or to setstringent limits on, a galactic halo component. The existence or non-existence of a halo component has far-reaching implications for the annihilation rate and the origin of positrons in our galaxy in general, and in the bulge and disk in particular. Possible halo positron sources are members of the old stellar population (such asType~Ia supernovae, novae, or low-mass X-ray binaries) or light dark matter.

Mission Description	The INTEGRAL (International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory) mission, launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) on October 17, 2002, was designed to study high-energy phenomena in the universe. INTEGRAL was operating until february 2025 and it was equipped with three high-energy instruments: the Imager on Board the INTEGRAL Satellite (IBIS), the Spectrometer on INTEGRAL (SPI), and the JEM-X (Joint European Monitor for X-rays). Its Optical Monitoring Camera (OMC) provided optical V-band magnitude measurements, complementing the high-energy observations.
