Beam-beam collision monitoring for CESR: A Large Angle Beamstrahlung Monitor

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This proposal will result in a Large Angle Beamstrahlung Monitor at CESR, an electron positron collider. Colliders have become the tool of choice for frontier experiments in particle physics. The technique proposed here has the potential to provide a wealth of information about beam overlap at the collision point of colliders which can result in substantially higher luminosity, which means more data on the rare processes of interest. In addition to improving the performance of a collider, which is of direct interest to the particle physics experimenters, extracting the information from the beam overlap could lead to improvements in the understanding of the beam-beam interaction. This idea, if can be made viable, will have application in many colliding beam accelerators.
