In a pair plasma, both particle species have the same mass. Compared to an electron--ion plasma, a pair plasma is predicted to have unique characteristics and excellent stability properties. A Positron--Electron eXperiment (APEX) has the goal to create such a kind of plasma in a magnetic dipole trap for the first time. An important step towards this goal is to know how parameters of the experiment, such as electrode biases, effect the radial deposition of positrons in the magnetic dipole field. For that, we reanalyzed experimental data, compared them to numerical single-particle simulations, and found multiple parameters that modify the radial deposition of positrons without deteriorating the required high injection efficiency. These results can be used to design upcoming experiments about long confinement and pulse stacking.
