  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.

  In this report, we compared different matching device field profiles for the FCC-ee positron source. The matching device is used to capture positrons with magnetic field. A flux concentrator was designed with a conical inner chamber. A smaller aperture and a larger aperture were studied. An analytic field profile was also studied using an adiabatic formula. The peak field of the analytic profile as well as beam and target parameters was optimised to achieve a maximum positron yield. A safe energy deposition in the target was guaranteed by requiring a constraint on the deposited power and peak energy deposition density.
