| Abstract | The PSI Positron Production experiment, known as $\text{P}^{3}$ or $\textit{P-cubed}$, is a proof-of-principle positron source and capture system that can greatly improve the state-of-the-art positron yield. The $\text{P}^{3}$ project is led by the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland, and addresses the long-standing challenge faced by conventional injector facilities to generate, capture, and damp the emittance of high-current positron beam, which is a major limiting factor for the feasibility of future electron-positron colliders. $\text{P}^{3}$ follows the same basic principles as its predecessors, utilizing a positron source driven by pair-production and an RF linac with a high-field solenoid focusing system. However, it incorporates pioneering technology, such as high-temperature superconducting solenoids, that can outperform significantly the present positron capture efficiency rates. The $\text{P}^{3}$ experiment will be hosted at PSI's SwissFEL, and will serve as the positron source test facility of CERN's FCC-ee. This paper outlines the concept, technology, infrastructure, physics studies and diagnostics of $\text{P}^{3}$. |
