Summary of emittance control in the SLC linac
The SLC electron-positron collider requires micron size beams at the collision point in order to make maximum luminosity, which requires small beam emittances. These small emittances must be produced in the damping rings and accelerated down the linac without significant enlargement. The design (invariant) emittances {gamma}{var epsilon} at the exit of the damping rings are 1.7 {times} 10{sup {minus}5} radian meters (r-m) both horizontally (x) and vertically (y). The allowed emittance at the exit of the linac is 3 {times} 10{sup {minus}5} r-m. This report describes measurements of the beam emittance at various locations along the beam's trajectory and the techniques used to diagnose and correct errors. 6 refs., 9 figs.
