Some issues involved in designing a 1 TeV (c.m.) e+- linear collider using conventional technology

In the series of reviews devoted to the future of e+- linear colliders in these proceedings, this article focuses on the design of a machine with a center of mass energy of 1 TeV which uses conventional technology. By conventional technology here is meant that the process of acceleration is achieved as is usual in common electron linear accelerators, namely that the electron and positron bunches receive their energy from RF fields stored in copper structures at room temperatures. The RF power is generated by a separate self-contained device such as a klystron or other microwave tube. This process contrasts with more futuristic schemes described in the other articles which use wake fields, plasmas and/or lasers. The 1 TeV c.m. energy (ten times that of the SLC) was chosen because it falls into an intermediate range where, as will be seen, the conventional techniques can conceivably still be used although they must be stretched to their capacity, but above which different regimes are entered and new approaches are clearly required
