  There is a strong need for in­tense positron sources for fu­ture col­lid­ers. A crys­tal-based hy­brid positron source could be an al­ter­na­tive to con­ven­tional sources based on the e- con­ver­sion into e+ in a thick tar­get. The basic idea of the hy­brid source is to split the e+ con­verter into a gamma-quanta ra­di­a­tor plus a gamma-to-positron con­verter*. In such a scheme an e- beam crosses a thin ax­i­ally ori­ented crys­tal with emis­sion of "chan­nel­ing ra­di­a­tion", char­ac­ter­ized by a con­sid­er­ably larger amount of pho­tons w.r.t. stan­dard bremsstrahlung**. The net re­sult is an in­crease in the num­ber of e+ pro­duced at the con­verter tar­get. In the hy­brid scheme, only pho­tons reach the con­verter, thereby re­duc­ing the Peak En­ergy De­po­si­tion Den­sity (PEDD) in the tar­get. Here we pre­sent the re­sults of a test con­ducted at the DESY TB with 5.6 GeV e- in­ter­act­ing with a W crys­tal. A huge en­hance­ment in the ra­di­ated en­ergy and in the pho­ton emis­sion has been recorded and re­pro­duced with Monte Carlo sim­u­la­tions***. This study is rel­e­vant for the de­sign of the FCC-ee positron source. In­deed, through Monte Carlo, we also in­ves­ti­gated the best pa­ra­me­ters of the crys­tal ra­di­a­tor suited for the FCC-ee e+ source.
