Report of the workshop on Siberian snakes for the SSC collider ring
- Lawrence Berkeley Lab., CA (United States). SSC Central Design Group
This workshop on Siberian snakes for the SSC was held to discuss the technical feasibility of polarized beams at the SSC. Only the 20-TeV collider ring was discussed with the prospect that the polarized beam source, the linac, and the boosters have fewer technical problems. More specifically, the major issue of the miniworkshop was to give an answer to the questions (1) how many Siberian snakes are needed and (2) what alignment tolerances are required, given the snakes. No attempt was made to address the issues of whether polarized beams will benefit the SSC high energy physics program or what the cost will be. As for the two questions above, workshop participants concluded that the required number of snake pairs is around 10 and the alignment tolerance is less than 100 microns. This tight tolerance is of great concern and has to be confirmed by other means such as computer simulation. One of the conclusions was that they should have a realistic lattice of the SSC which enables them to study it in more detail and to try computer simulations.
