SLC: The End Game
- SLAC
The design of the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC) called for a beam intensity far beyond what was practically achievable. This was due to intrinsic limitations in many subsystems and to a lack of understanding of the new physics of linear colliders. Real progress in improving the SLC performance came from precision, non-invasive diagnostics to measure and monitor the beams and from new techniques to control the emittance dilution and optimize the beams. A major contribution to the success of the last 1997-98 SLC run came from several innovative ideas for improving the performance of the Final Focus (FF). This paper describes some of the problems encountered and techniques used to overcome them. Building on the SLC experience, we will also present a new approach to the FF design for future high energy linear colliders.
