The electron-positron pair creation occurring near the laser-plasma interface is studied with the help of Particle-in-Cell 1D and 2D simulations. We present the angular distribution of positrons which can help in their detection in real experiments. This technique can be used to measure the intensity and duration of the laser pulses with higher precision.
