The Intrinsic Upper Limit to the Beam Energy of an Electron-positron Circular Collider
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we predict that there exists an intrinsic upper limit to the beam energy of an e+e− circular collider due to the beam-beam effects. The maximum beam energy is given by E0,max = 85.17 √ NIP (GeV), where NIP is the number of the interaction points in the ring. It is concluded that LEP is the only machine on this planet which has the potential to test the validity of this theoretical prediction by reducing its interaction points to one.

Progress Report on Future
Talking about the future is always difficult but is particularly problematic today when there are so many forces acting on high energy physics in general and SLAC in particular over which the speaker has little control. SLAC intends to pursue high energy physics work in the future along three lines: (1) continued exploration of electron and photon physics on stationary targets; (2) colliding be...
متن کاملThe E166 experiment: Development of an undulator-based polarized positron source for the international linear collider
A longitudinal polarized positron beam is foreseen for the international linear collider (ILC). A proof-of-principle experiment has been performed in the final focus test beam at SLAC to demonstrate the production of polarized positrons for implementation at the ILC. The E166 experiment uses a 1 m long helical undulator in a 46.6 GeV electron beam to produce a few MeV photons with a high degree...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of the Construction of Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Facilities in Three South African Hospitals
Introduction: Development of higher energy modalities such as positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), has led to more complex shielding problems. This is due to several factors, such as the radiopharmaceutical relatively high-administered activity, high patient throughput, and high energies of 511 kilo-electron volt (keV) positron annihilation photon...
متن کاملPhysical characteristics of electron beam from conventional and beam shaper IOERT applicator: A comparison study
Introduction: Intraoperative electron radiation therapy (IOERT) is one of the cancer treatment techniques that delivers high doses to tumor bed during surgery. IOERT can be performed by either conventional LINACs or dedicated IORT accelerators such as LIAC (Light Intraoperative Accelerator). Two types of applicators can be used with LIAC dedicated accelerator including conventi...
متن کاملProspects for Multi-tev Two-beam Linear Colliders*
Recent work at CERN and SLAC has opened the possibility of the development of concrete designs for electron positron linear colliders that have a center of mass energy substantially above 1 TeV [1,2]. These designs are based on high gradient, normal conducting acceleration with the power provided by an auxiliary beam that is efficiently accelerated in a fully loaded, low frequency linac. This t...
