The E166 experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) has demonstrated a scheme for the production of polarized positrons which is suitable for implementation in a future Linear Collider. A multi-GeV electron beam passed through a helical undulator to generate multi-MeV, circularly polarized photons which were then converted in a thin target to produce positrons (and electrons) with longitudinal polarization above 80% at 6 MeV. The results are in agreement with GEANT4 simulations that include the dominant polarization-dependent interactions of electrons, positrons and photons in matter.
