Prospects for Very High Gradient Linac-Colliders

CABOTO, a high-gradient linac for hadrontherapy

The field of hadrontherapy has grown rapidly in recent years. At present the therapeutic beam is provided by a cyclotron or a synchrotron, but neither cyclotrons nor synchrotrons present the best performances for hadrontherapy. The new generation of accelerators for hadrontherapy should allow fast active energy modulation and have a high repetition rate, so that moving organs can be appropriate...

High Gradient Linac Prototype : A Modest Proposal *

Study of a High Gradient Pulsed Linac Structure

Analytical calculation of the accelerating gradient in a radial line transformer linac will be presented.

PHYSICS OF (VERY) HIGH ENERGY e+-e- COLLIDERS*

I review the physics capabilities of e+e-colliders of hundred GeV to TeV center-of-mass energies, emphasizing issues relevant the physics of symmetry breaking in the weak interactions.

Linac-Ring Type Colliders: Second Way to TeV Scale

Main parameters and the physics search potentials of the linac-ring type lepton-hadron and photon-hadron colliders are discussed. The THERA (TESLA on HERA), ”NLC”-LHC and ”CLIC”-VLHC proposals are considered.
