This volume is a collection of the contributions to the 6th Annual Workshop on Polarized Positron held in China. It provides updated information on polarized positron source R&D efforts for future high energy linear colliders and other research activities related to the polarized positron studies.

The topics covered include: positron beams for linear colliders, but not limited to it, with the main items listed below:

• Polarized gamma ray generation
• High degree polarized positron generation from Compton scattering both ring and linac based
• High degree polarized positron generation from undulator radiation
• Stacking and accumulation of the polarized beam from Compton regime
• Polarized beam transport, control and acceleration
• Channelling radiation and applications
• Physics applications of polarized positrons
• Various high intensity positron sources (include conventional)
• For other future colliders (SuperB, for example)
• Positron generation target issues
• Physics applications of high quality X-rays and gamma-rays
• Polarimetry at the e+ source
• The positron capture section and the photon collimation
• Review the activities of the “ILC–CLIC e+ generation” working group for all schemes
