A Possible Final Focusing Mechanism for Linear Colliders*
نویسندگان
چکیده
Large transverse wake fields can be generated via the interaction between a relativistic electron or positron bunch and a plasma, and the bunch will therefore be self-pinched. In this paper we derive a new and general formulation for the plasma wake field in a compact expression. We then suggest that this self-focusing effect can be used as a mechanism to enhance the luminosity for high energy experiments. A plasma lens based on this effect is suggested with a conceptual design and a numerical example. The problem of background noise is discussed at the end.

Further Developments in Dynamic Focusing
Dynamic focusing has been proposed[1] as a way to eliminate a conventional collimation and final focus system in linear colliders, and is a scheme that is more readily extended to colliders at several TeV center-of-mass energy. In this paper we examine several outstanding issues, in particular, the optimization of the lens and main beam parameters. Simulations of the lens-lens, lens-main, and m...
متن کاملA Final Focus System for Flat-Beam Linear Colliders*
A final focus system is designed for a flat-beam linear collider with the parameters suggested by R. B. Palmer. A method of chromaticity correction which uses one family of sextupole is realized so as to correct both horizontal and vertical chromaticities simultaneously. A computer code has been written to find the solution, and a result with a momentum acceptance twice that of Palmer’s require...
متن کاملSupersymmetry Searches at e+e− Linear Colliders
The physics potential of discovering and exploring supersymmetry at future ee linear colliders is reviewed. Such colliders are planned to start to operate at a center–of–mass energy of 500 GeV to 800 GeV, with a final energy of about 2 TeV expected. They are ideal facilities for the discovery of supersymmetric particles. High precision measurements of their properties and interactions will help...
متن کاملFocusing of submicron beams for TeV-scale e+e- linear colliders.
First experimental results from the Final Focus Test Beam (FFTB) are reported. The vertical dimension of a 47 GeV electron beam from the SLAC linac has been reduced at the focal point of the FFTB by a demagnification of 320 to a beam height of approximately 70 nanometers. One of the challenges to the development of TeV-scale e+e’ linear colliders is to focus particle beams to extremely small si...
متن کاملPlasma Lens Experiments at the Final Focus Test Beam*
We intend to carry out a series of plasma lens experiments at the Final Focus Test Beam facility at SLAC. These experiments will be the first to study the focusing of particle beams by plasma focusing devices in the parameter regime of interest for high energy colliders, and is expected to lead to plasma lens designs capable of unprecedented spot sizes. Plasma focusing of positron beams will be...
