Sunday, 9/27/98: IR Parallel Session 1
| 3:00 | 3:20 | 20" | Tom Markiewicz | Overview of IR Issues and Work in Progress. This 40 slide talk is broken into two parts as reading the whole pdf file has caused some browsers to choke: See Part 1 and Part 2 if this is the case for you. |
| 3:20 | 3:40 | 20" | Tor Raubenheimer | Discussion of IP parameter optimization (Trading off pinch enhanced luminosity with a higher bunch charge at a relatively relaxed 2.8 ns interbunch spacing against a degraded energy spectrum with more background. Compare to a 1.4 ns interbunch spacing parameter set.) |
| 3:40 | 4:00 | 20'' | ALL | Discussion and Questions |
| 4:00 | 4:30 | 30" | COFFEE BREAK | |
| 4:30 | 4:50 | 20" | Kathy Thompson | Physics and Practicalities of running the beam-beam simulation programs (Guinea Pig, CAIN, ABEL) |
| 4:50 | 5:10 | 20" | Tomomi Ohgaki | Study of hadronic backgrounds in future e+e- linear colliders (also available in pdf format) |
| 5:10 | 5:40 | 30" | Takashi Maruyama | Update on Background Simulations |
| 5:40 | 5:55 | 15" | David Cinabro | The CLEO IR and Simulation of beam induced backgrounds |
| 5:55 | 6:15 | 20" | Tracy Usher | Sensitivity of detector to particle loss and SR from lost particles as a function of the location of the particle loss in the current beam delivery optics |
| 6:15 | 6:45 | ALL | Discussion and Questions |
Monday, 9/28/98: IR Parallel Session 2
| 3:45 | 4:15 | 30" | Tor Raubenheimer | Accelerator Physics Limitations on IR Geometry (L*, Crossing Angle, Detector Solenoid Strength) |
| 4:15 | 4:45 | 30" | Mike Woods | Overview of Small Spot Issues, FFTB results on 70nm spot measurements, and Update on R&D on using an Optical Anchor for Stabilizing Vibrations of the Final Double |
| 4:45 | 5:00 | 15" | David Miller | Measuring the luminosity spectrum using the Bhabha acollinearity distribution |
| 5:00 | 5:20 | 20" | Stan Hertzbach | Review of the SLC Energy Spectrometer and Estimates of how a similar detector would perform if asked to measure the disrupted NLC beam |
| 5:20 | 5:40 | 20" | Paul LeBrun | Electromagnetic and Muon backgrounds at the Muon Collider and the Applicability of shielding schemes to the NLC |
| 5:40 | 6:00 | 20" | ALL | Discussion-Time to be expanded as required |
Tuesday, 9/29/98: Plenary Talk
| 11:20 | 11:40 | 20" | Stan Hertzbach | IR Summary |
