Title: Parameters of the SLAC Next Linear Collider

Conference ·
OSTI ID:73020

In this paper, the authors present the parameters and layout of the Next Linear Collider (NLC). The NLC is the SLAC design of a future linear collider using X-band RF technology in the main linacs. The collider would have an initial center-of-mass energy of 0.5 TeV which would be upgraded to 1 TeV and then 1.5 TeV in two stages. The design luminosity is > 5 {times} 10{sup 33} cm{sup {minus}2} sec {sup {minus}1} at 0.5 TeV and > 10{sup 34} cm{sup {minus}2} sec{sup {minus}1} at 1.0 and 1.5 TeV. They briefly describe the components of the collider and the proposed energy upgrade scenario.
