Abstract
The methods of producing intense beams of slow positrons are discussed and compared. It is shown that, at least for angle resolved atomic scattering experiments some form of brightness enhancement is needed to produce the necessary well collimated beams. The pulsed features of the positron beams produced by electron LINACS are seen, in many applications, to be disadvantageous.
