An ep collider with E/sub cm/=1 TeV in a VLHC booster tunnel

Abstract

We discuss wake field excitation and propagation in dielectric structures, particularly concentrating on the case of multiple drive beam excitation in multimode structures. We emphasize calculations of the energy loss of the drive bunch train, the amplitude of the wakefield, and the relation between power flow and stored energy in the dielectric wakefield device. We show that for a collinear multimode structure the amplitude of the wakefield generated by a bunch train is less than or equal to the wakefield generated by a single bunch of the same total charge. Furthermore, the transformer ratio, R, is shown to be always less than 2, even in the multiple drive beam case. Plans for an experiment to measure wakes in a multimode structure at AWA are presented.

Trends in high energy particle accelerators

“…An example is the 80 GeV/3 TeV, 1 TeV cm, 0.3 (pb s) −1 luminosity e-p collider designed to fit in a 340 km long 'VLHC' tunnel, the proton ring being similar to the LF VLHC ring [60]. e-p options in the LHC tunnel have also been envisaged.…”

A Review of TeV Scale Lepton-Hadron and Photon-Hadron Colliders

“…TeV (E e =80 GeV, E p =1 TeV) and L ep =3.2⋅10 32 cm -2 s -1 in a VLHC Booster Tunnel with ~34 km circumference has been proposed [36,37]. Let me cite the Conclusions from [37]:…”
