Abstract

The SLAC Linear Collider (SLC) is a novel electron‐positron accelerator designed to produce center‐of‐mass energies of around 93 GeV, the mass of the Z0 particle. The collisions are between electrons and positrons produced directly by the accelerator. Previously, energetic electron‐positron collisions were produced by counter‐rotating beams of electrons and positrons stored in a storage ring. The beams are discarded, pulse by pulse, at the SLC. They are directed into a beam dump after the interaction point (IP).
