Description

The long term plans for the Cornell electron-positron storage ring CESR include a rapid increase in the luminosity from our present peak of 2.5x1032 cm-2s-1 to over 10x1032 cm-2s-1. This will be done using the present ring, but with new configurations which allow higher stored beam currents. During this upgrade period many critical high current technologies will be developed and put into practice. In addition a great deal of rich B system data will be collected and analyzed. Then, when funding becomes available the machine will be ready to be converted to a two-ring unequal energy 'B Factory' capable of measuring CP violation in B decays. The upgrade and conversion plans are discussed in detail in this paper as well as the current status of key technical subsystems. (author)
