SL Contribution to CLIC Studies

by Frank Zimmermann (CERN)

Thursday 26 Oct 2000, 16:00 → 16:15 Europe/Zurich

SL Auditorium (CERN)

Since 1999, a small team in the SL division participates in the CERN study of a future electron-positron linear collider, CLIC, operating at 3 TeV centre-of-mass energy. Our mandate comprises (1) the design of damping rings producing beams with the required ultra-low emittances, two or three orders of magnitude smaller than at the SLC; (2) the design of a beam delivery system consisting of final focus, collimation, and beam exit line, including simulations of detector background and system performance; and (3) an assessment of the extreme quantum regime during the beam-beam collision. In this talk, I describe major design challenges, results achieved so far, and our plan for the future. Within the SL mandate there are many interesting areas to which other groups in SL might contribute. Possible topics will be mentioned.

Organiser(s): Werner Herr, SL Division; Ruediger Schmidt, LHC Division

Note: Tea and coffee will be served at 15:30 in front of the Auditorium
