Proceedings of the international conference on instrumentation for colliding beam physics
The International Conference on Instrumentation for Colliding Beam Physics was held at SIAC from February 17 to 23, 1982. It was the second of a series of conferences, the first of which was held at Novosibirsk in 1977. This second meeting had a larger and more cosmopolitan attendance than the first mainly due to the enormous growth in interest in colliding beam physics in the intervening five years. During this period three new electron colliders, CESR, PEF, and PETRA, were commissioned and hadron collisions were begun in the SPS, Moreover, almost every center of particle physics In the world initiated plans to build at least one new colliding beam device; in alphabetical order, the acronyms include BEFC, CESR II, CHEER, HERA, ISABELLE, LEP, SLC, TEVATRON I, TRISTAN, UNK, and VLEPP. The timing of this conference brought together the first results from new detectors at existing facilities and the development of new ideas for detectors for the future facilities. In all, 140 physicists and engineers from 10 countries in 3 continents attended: 76 from North America, 43 from Europe, and 21 from Asia. Separate abstracts were prepared for the 47 papers presented.
