The lessons of the super collider.

Parameters for a Super-Flavor-Factory

A Super Flavor Factory, an asymmetric energy ee collider with a luminosity of order 10 cms, can provide a sensitive probe of new physics in the flavor sector of the Standard Model. The success of the PEP-II and KEKB asymmetric colliders [1, 2] in producing unprecedented luminosity above 10 cms has taught us about the accelerator physics of asymmetric ee colliders in a new parameter regime. Furt...

Principles of Interaction Region Design in Hadron Colliders and Their Application to the SSC Superconducting Super Collider Laboratory SSCL - Preprint - 550 January 1994 Distribution

The high luminosity Interaction Regions (IRs) are an important part of the lattice in colliding beam machines. The performance of the collider may depend significantly on the particular design of the IRs. In this paper we discuss the general principles of IR design and apply these principles to the design of the Superconducting Super Collider Interaction Regions.

A Pixel-level Sampling CMOS Vertex Detector for the ILC Status Report and Project Initiatives

Precision vertex reconstruction at the ILC requires a detector capable of exquisite spatial resolution while withstanding significant low momentum charged particle fluxes and modest radiation damage. Lessons can be learned from the development of an ultra-thin CMOS pixel detector device for the high-occupancy environment of a Super B-Factory. The Continuous Acquisition Pixel (CAP) detector is b...

Design of an Asymmetric Super-b Factory*

A Super Flavor Factory, an asymmetric energy ee collider with a luminosity of order 10 cms, can provide a sensitive probe of new physics in the flavor sector of the Standard Model. The success of the PEP-II and KEKB asymmetric colliders [1,2] in producing unprecedented luminosity above 10 cms has taught us about the accelerator physics of asymmetric ee colliders in a new parameter regime.

The Superconducting Super Collider Project*

The elementary particle physics community in the United States is proposing the construction of a very high energy, high luminosity, proton-proton collider called the Superconducting Super Collider1 (SSC) The proposed SSC has a maximum energy of 20 TeV per beam, yielding a total energy of 40 TeV; and a maximum luminosity of 1033~m-2s-1. The design is based upon the use of 6.6 Tesla superconduct...
