Electrostatic separators will be used in the LEP Collider, presently under construction at CERN, to separate the electron and positron bunches in the eight collision points during injection and acceleration. The total system Will comprise 32 separator tanks, each 4.5 m long with a vacuum of 10-S Pa after bake-out at 3oooc. The operating electric field is 20 kV/cm across a gap of 11 cm between 4 m long stainless steel electrodes; under laboratory conditions the extrapolated spark rate per tank is < lo-' per hr. Parasitic mode losses cause heating of the electrodes, thus a closed loop cooling system is required to prevent a rise in pressure due to increased outgassing. Layout, construction, HV circuit and performance of the prototype separators are described.
