High luminosity performance of the SPS proton-antiproton collider

Creators

  • 1. CERN, Geneva (Switzerland)

Description

In September 1988, the CERN SPS collider was brought into operation for the first physics production run with the improved antiproton production and accumulation complex (AAC). The increased antiproton flux immediately resulted in a considerable improvement in the machine performance with initial luminosities exceeding 2.4 x 1030 cm-2 s-1 and weekly integrated luminosities an order of magnitude greater than achieved in the past. In this paper, performance statistics and operational experience in this new regime are discussed. 2 refs., 5 figs
