The aim of this talk is to give an overview of current and planned positron source technologies. Such sources include electron beams incident on amorphous conversion targets or crystalline targets, as well as gamma-ray positron sources using either Compton back-scattering or undulators to produce gamma-rays which are then incident on thin targets. Currently achievable fluxes and emittances are...

The generation of high-quality relativistic positron beams is a central area of research in experimental physics, due to their applications in a wide range of scientifi
c and engineering areas, ranging from fundamental science to practical applications. There is now growing interest in developing hybrid machines that will combine plasma- based acceleration techniques with more conventional...
