Designing a bunch compressor chicane for a multi-TeV linear collider

A Bunch Compressor for the next Linear Collider

A bunch compressor design for the Next Linear Collider (NLC) is described. The compressor reduces the bunch length by a factor of 40 in two stages. The first stage at 2 GeV consists of an rf section and a wiggler. The second stage at 10 GeV is formed by an arc, an rf section, and a chicane. The final bunch phase is insensitive to initial phase errors and to beam loading in the intermediate Sban...

Physics Opportunities with a TeV Linear Collider

We discuss the physics motivations for building a 500 GeV–1 TeV electron-positron linear collider. The state of the art collider technologies and the physics-driven machine parameters are discussed. A survey of some of the phenomena well suited to study at a linear collider are described, including Higgs bosons, supersymmetry, other extensions to the Standard Model, and cosmology.

RD on Multi-TeV Linear Collider, Status and Perspectives

A high luminosity (1034 1035 cm2/s) electron-positron Collider (CLIC) with a nominal centreof-mass energy of 3 TeV has been under study for a number of years in the framework of an international collaboration of laboratories and institutes, with the aim to provide the HEP community with a new facility for the post-LHC era. After a brief description of a CLIC scheme to extend Linear Colliders in...

A Beam Driven Plasma-Wakefield Linear Collider: From Higgs Factory to Multi-TeV Summarized for CSS2013

1. Introduction Plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA) holds much promise for advancing the energy frontier because it can potentially provide a 1000-fold or more increase in acceleration gradient with excellent power efficiency with respect to standard technologies. Most of the advances in beam-driven plasma wakefield acceleration were obtained by a UCLA/USC/SLAC collaboration working at the SLA...
