LEP is an electron-positron collider designed for 2 X 100 GeV. For an initial phase the RF power will be sufficient to produce collisions at 2 X 50 GeV at a luminosity of about 1.6 X 10/sup -31/ cm/sup -2/ s/sup -1/. The circumference of the ring is 26.7 km and will be installed 80 - 125 m underground. Electrons and positrons will first be accelerated in a linear accelerator LIL and accumulated in a new storage ring EPA. Subsequently, the existing machines, the PS and the SPS, will be used as pre-accelerators.
