An ep collider with E{sub cm} = 1 TeV in a VLHC booster tunnel.

Conference ·
OSTI ID:11750
The low field option for the VLHC includes a 3 TeV proton booster with a circumference of 34 km. The authors are studying the option of an electron ring to fit in this tunnel which can produce ep collisions with a luminosity of 1 fb{sup {minus}1}/yr with a center of mass energy of 1 TeV. The machine would utilize superconducting rf and small low field magnets for the {approximately} 80 GeV electron beam. They describe the vacuum chamber/magnet system, rf power supply requirements, vacuum chamber cooling, interaction regions and installation of the facility in the tunnel, as well as provide preliminary estimates of beam stability and lifetimes.
