A comparison and evaluation is presented of four experimental methods for measuring electron momentum distributions. The methods considered are photon Compton scattering, electron Compton scattering, (e, 2e) and positron annihilation. This report was prepared at the request of the IUCr Commission on Charge, Spin and Momentum Densities.
