Title: Some issues involved in designing a 1 TeV (c. m. ) e/sup + -/ linear collider using conventional technology

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5971057

Some of the crucial issues are discussed which are raised when one wants to use conventional technology to design a 1 TeV electron-positron linear collider with a luminosity of 2 x 10/sup 32/ cm/sup -2/sec/sup -1/. By conventional technology is meant that the process of acceleration is achieved as is usual in common electron linacs - namely that the electron and positron bunches receive their energy from rf fields stored in copper structures at room temperature. The beam-related problems and linac-related problems are treated separately. What happen as one goes to gradients and frequencies higher that those of the SLC are considered, in an attempt to decrease overall length and power consumption. The rf and other problems that one confronts as one goes to higher energies are illustrated. 19 refs., 12 figs., 2 tabs. (LEW)
