The IR Schedule at Keystone

Sunday, 9/27/98: Plenary Talk

2:15 2:45 30" Ron Settles Machine and Detector Issues

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

 


Other Suggestions for Talks
(Nobody has volunteered to give these talks, although some of the content will be covered by the promised talks.  This list is meant to suggest topics you may want to work on or that you would really like to see covered.)

Update on Muon Backgrounds
What is a reasonable muon background level to strive for?
What do we know about spot sizes from the FFTB at SLAC
Detector Timing to reduce background sensitivity
Update on Synchrotron radiation backgrounds
What info and tools are available and how to get to them?
Other existing Interaction Regions: PeP-II, CLEO
Other planned IRs: TESLA, JLC,Muon Collider
Beam Tuning at the NLC with beam-beam scans
Low Angle acceptance at the NLC
Using e+e- pairs to measure luminosity
Design of a NLC Polarimeter
Design of a NLC Energy spectrometer
Design of a Radiative Bhabha counter to measure luminosity
Introduction to Dump Line and Planned Diagnostics
Are there R&D proposals for the IR that should be funded by either accelerator money or detector money?
