Next Linear Collider Test Accelerator Injector Upgrade

The next Linear Collider Test Accelerator+

During the past several years, there has been tremendous progress on the development of the RF system and accelerating structures for a Next Linear Collider (NLC). Developments include high-power klystrons, RF pulse compression systems and damped/detuned accelerator structures to reduce wakefields. In order to integrate these separate development efforts into an actual X-band accelerator capabl...

The next Linear Collider Test Accelerator: Status and Results

At SLAC, we are pursuing the design of a Next Linear Collider (NLC) which would begin with a center-of-mass energy of 0.5 TeV, and would be upgradable to 1.0 TeV and beyond [1]. To achieve this high energy, for the past several years we have been working on the development of a high-gradient 11.4-GHz (X-band) linear accelerator for the main linac of the collider. In this paper, we present the s...

International Linear Collider (ILC) Accelerator

The International Linear Collider (ILC) is a 200–500GeV center-of-mass highluminosity linear electron-positron collider, based on 1.3 GHz superconducting accelerating technology (SCRF). The colliding experiment of electron-positron will provide enormous data of the high energy physics, for example, the nature of Higgs particle, not-found particles like super-symmetric particles, and proof of un...

The next Linear Collider*

There is now broad agreement in the high energy physics community that to continue exploring the energy frontier in e+einteractions, we will have to abandon circular colliders and adopt linear colliders. This realization has led to active research throughout the world towards the next generation of linear colliders. The past few years have seen great strides in our understanding of both the acc...
