Issues, options, and performance expectations for storage ring based BB-bar factories

Conference · · AIP Conf. Proc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6276216
The recent widespread interest in B Factories with very high (>10/sup 33/ cm/sup -2/ -sec/sup -1/) luminosity has encouraged proposals from organizations in several continents. Storage ring based machines have the advantage of many machine-decades of experience upon which to base designs. Peak luminosities of 10/sup 32/ cm/sup -2/ -sec/sup -1/ have been achieved at a storage ring operating at energies appropriate for B meson production. The high currents necessary for these luminosities present the most diffucult technical problems in operating such a machine. Large higher mode power, synchrotron radiation power, and fundamental RF power coupled to the beam push technology well beyond that achieved in present machines. In addition, careful control of optics in double rings is required to achieve maximum luminosity.
