3. REVIEW OF POSITRON SOURCE R&D FOR LINEAR COLLIDERS
INTRODUCTION
There is a strong need on intense positron sources polarized or not with low emittance to fulfill the requirements of future e+e- linear colliders. The qualities of the e+ sources are depending on the photon characteristics and on the converters in which this photon materializes; i.e., polarization, energy spectrum, emittance… Different kinds of e+ sources dedicated to the LC are presented hereafter. The studies are resulting from a straight collaboration with P.Sievers from CERN, physicists from KEK (T.Suwada et al) and IHEP (J.Gao, G.Pei). Technical support is from LAL and KEK.

A-Overview on positron sources for e+e- LC
1-1 Polarized e+sources
Circularly polarized photons are used to obtain longitudinally polarized positrons. The methods to get these polarized photons are:
- use of helicoidal magnetic undulators
- use of Compton backscattering with a circularly
polarized laser
- generation of polarized bremstrahlung by a
polarized e- beam in a target

3-POLARIZED PHOTONS using polarized bremstrahlung
A method using longitudinally polarized electrons from an AsGa photocathode illuminated by a polarized laser beam has been described by many authors (A.Potylitsin, E.Bessonov, A.Mikhailichenko). The polarized electrons are generating polarized photons via bremstrahlung in an amorphous target. These photons are converted in polarized e+e- pairs in the same target.

TOWARDS A TEST OF THE HYBRID SOURCE WITH GRANULAR CONVERTER
A test is considered on the KEKB linac, at least, this summer. Granular converters have been worked out at LAL-Orsay with W spheres of 2 mm diameter.
4 converters with 2, 4, 6 and 8
layers have been built for this
test. The test will consist in
measuring the temperature
rise on the output face of the
converter in order to get an
indication on the distribution
of the deposited power.

STAGGERED LAYERS OF W SPHERES
The W spheres are arranged
in superimposed staggered
layers . On the figure, we have 2 layers: on the bottom, 10x10 W spheres and upon it 9x9 W spheres. The positrons (and electrons) come out from the 9x9 layer, allowing the presence, on the axis, of a sphere which should be the warmest.

PERSPECTIVES AND FUTURE INVESTIGATIONS
(a) Studies and tests on the targets
- The investigations are concerning the calculation of the
energy distribution density with the determination of its
peak value (PEDD) which must be smaller than 35 J/g (W)
- Cooling devices have been considered for the
converters: rotating wheel or pendulum (undulator
Livermore, Cockroft, DESY; Hybrid source  LAL, IPNL,
CERN; Conventional: KEK, DESY)
- tests are foreseen (at KEKB for the hybrid source with a
granular converter) .

24. REVIEW OF POSITRON SOURCE R&D FOR LINEAR COLLIDERS
SUMMARY & PRELIMINARY CONCLUSIONS
The hybrid positron source based, first, on a intense photon beam resulting from radiation in oriented crystals and, also, on the separation between the crystal-radiator and the amorphous converter, seems a promising solution for future linear colliders. It has been chosen by CERN as the baseline of CLIC positron source. Replacing the compact converter with a granular one made of small W spheres improves the heat dissipation and decreases the PEDD. Transforming the ILC pulse structure before the target and giving it back at the Damping Ring output, makes possible and interesting such a solution for an unpolarized positron option of ILC. Simulations made by an IHEP-LAL PhD student led to a description of the possibilities of such a source. Further activities in the future will concern the behaviour of the warm targets from the double aspect of cooling and remedies to the thermal shock waves deriving from the lack of homogeneity of the power deposition. A new project of collaboration between IN2P3 and IHEP on e+ will be elaborated on the basis of the investigations (simulations and test).
