Beam Dynamics Panel, Working Group on High Luminosity e+ e- Colliders

Announcements The 40th ICFA Advanced Beam Dynamics Workshop on e+e- Factories will be held on September 15-17, 2006 at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, Novosibirsk, Russia. Proceedings of the series of ICFA BD workshops (1997, 1999, 2001) have been published on CD and are available upon request from Dave Rice or Caterina Biscari. The Lepton Colliders Database is now available from our page here.

Resources Machine parameters of e+e- colliders in the world. The Lepton Colliders DataBase Planning the construction of a collider means first of all, once the energy range is chosen, to fix a goal value for the peak luminosity, and consequently choose a design strategy to reach that goal. In designing a storage ring the operational experience of similar, existent machines is a valuable hint for what nature has allowed in that field. In this respect, a catalogue of characteristics and performances can be a very useful tool when designing new colliders or comparing operating machines. The database created by M.E.Biagini is here.

Past events with the workgroup participation The workgroup organized ICFA mini-workshop on "Frontiers of short bunches in storage rings". The workshop was sponsored by LNF and was held at Frascati on 7-8th November 2005. A joint KEK-SLAC workshop "Super B Factory Workshop in Hawaii" was organized in April, 2005. The purpose of the workshop was to promote the collaborative studies between the two laboratories on the future B factories. More information can be found in the following link. 6th Workshop on a Higher Luminosity B Factory was held on Nov. 16-18, 2004, KEK, Tsukuba, JAPAN SLAC-Novosibirsk International Symposium "Forty Years of Lepton Colliders" was held on May 15-17, 2004 at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, Novosibirsk, Russia. A Mini-Workshop on the BEPCII Interaction Region took place in the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China, from January 12 to 16, 2004. A Workshop on Beam Dynamics Issues for e+e- High Luminosity Factories has been held in October 2003 at SLAC, following the series begun with the workshop at Frascati in 1997 and continued by the 1999 Tsukuba and the 2001 Cornell workshops. The working group organized a Workshop on e+ e- in the 1-2 GeV Energy Range: Physics and Accelerator Prospects, 10-13 September 2003 at Alghero (SS), Italy.
