TUXG01 Last Year of PEP-II B-Factory Operation 946

    SLAC, Menlo Park, California
 
  The PEP II B-Factory at SLAC has been in operation for a decade, delivering luminosity to the BABAR experiment. The design luminosity was successfully reached after one year of operation and since then it has surpassed over four times design at 1.2 x 1034 cm-2sec-1. History of main achievements, high current operation issues, and lessons for the future factories will be presented.

TUXG02 High Luminosity Operation, Beam-Beam Effects and Their Compensation in TEVATRON 951
 
  • V. D. Shiltsev
    Fermilab, Batavia, Illinois
 
  During the recent years a remarkable increase of the TEVATRON luminosity was achieved. The presentation discusses the collider performance, how this was achieved and illustrates today's limitations. The TEVATRON will shutdown soon but many ideas that emerged from the TEVATRON are of great interest for future (hadron) colliders. As an example, the experience gained at the TEVATRON in understanding of beam-beam effects in hadron colliders and their compensation is highly relevant for future projects. Experimental results of the Tevatron Electron Lenses will be presented and possible use of similar lenses in LHC and RHIC will be discussed.
