LIMITATIONS IMPOSED BY BEAM–BEAM EFFECTS AND THEIR REMEDIES – II
Effects that limit the luminosities of a general purpose linear collider (GLC) capable of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] channels are discussed together with mitigations. Previous results are extended to understand the differences between channels to maximize the generalized luminosity. A standard NLC configuration at [Formula: see text] is used for comparison. Without charge compensation or bunch shaping, such flat beam configurations (aspect ratios R*≫1) imply major disadvantages for e-e- due to the strong disruption (D) and small, longitudinal f-numbers [Formula: see text] that are imposed. Previous round and flat beam configurations are studied as functions of D (or fb#), fl# and the constraints ΔB, Nγ and ϒ. Round beams with decreased disruptions and larger fl-stops are preferred with tensor beams, charge compensation or other bunch manipulation schemes. A low energy, high luminosity prototype is again proposed based on the possible physics.
