  The positron source under investigation is using channeling radiation of multi-GeV electrons in a tungsten crystal. The radiated photons are impinging on the amorphous targets creating e+e pairs. A dipole magnet between the crystal-radiator and the amorphous-converter allows the charged particles to be swept off and only emitted photons to generate e+e pairs in the converter. Granular targets of different thicknesses, made of small tungsten spheres, have been recently investigated as a target-converter. This paper is describing the experimental studies conducted at the KEKB linac with such device. After the description of the experimental set-up and beam parameters, the measurement methods and preliminary results are presented.

Direct s-channel Higgs production in e+e collisions is of interest if the centre-of-mass energy spread can be reduced to be comparable to the width of the standard model Higgs boson. A monochromatization scheme could be employed in order to achieve the desired reduction, by introducing a non-zero horizontal dispersion of opposite sign for the two colliding beams at the interaction point. In high-energy high-luminosity circular colliders, beamstrahlung may increase the energy spread and bunch length. The horizontal emittance blow up due to beamstrahlung, a new effect not present in past monochromatization proposals, may degrade the performance, especially the luminosity. We study, for the FCC-ee at 62.5 GeV beam energy, how we can optimize the IP optics parameters (betax*, Dx*) along with the number of particles per bunch so as to obtain maximum luminosity at a desired target value of the collision energy spread.
