HERA
Description
HERA is an electron-proton colliding beam facility under construction at DESY in Hamburg. It is designed to collide 820 GeV protons with 30 GeV electrons in four interaction regions. Its construction started in May, 1984. The layout of HERA is shown. Four 360 m long straight sections are joined by four arcs with a radius of 779.2 m yielding a total circumference of 6336 m. The tunnel containing the two rings is located some 10 - 30 m below the surface, and intersects the PETRA ring at a depth of 20 m, and only short injection paths are needed to connect the two accelerators. The general design parameters and the superconducting magnet parameters are summarized in tables. Some of the most important milestones for the HERA project are also listed in a table. (Aoki, K.)
