John Adams' Memorial Lecture: New Concepts for the Interaction Regions of Colliders

by Dr Pantaleo Raimondi (INFN-LNF)

Thursday 4 Dec 2008, 10:30 → 11:30 Europe/Zurich

AT Auditorium (CERN)

A new concept to substantially increase the performance of colliders has been developed and successfully tested at the INFN Frascati. The basic idea is to use a new colliding scheme relying on a large Piwinski angle and a vertical crab waist modulation in order to significantly increase the luminosity of storage ring colliders. The underlying theory of such a colliding scheme will be introduced and results of its implementation on the DaΦne Φ-Factory will be presented. Finally, a scaling on the SuperB-Factory as well as a preliminary study of a parameter list for a LHC luminosity upgrade will also be presented and discussed.
