The influence of the positron on the momentum distribution of annihilation quanta is investigated. Basing on general considerations, we show that a noninteracting positron, which generally reduces electronic densities, may enlarge some particular electronic umklapp components. Numerical tests were performed for alkalis, Al, Cu and Pd by applying augmented plane wave band structure calculations. In the paper we discuss also the influence of this effect on the electron-positron densities after including the electron-positron correlation effects.
