F. Zimmermann et al., ELECTRON-ELECTRON LUMINOSITY IN THE NEXT LINEAR COLLIDER - A PRELIMINARY-STUDY, International journal of modern physics A, 13(14), 1998, pp. 2443-2453
In this paper, we discuss some operational aspects of electron-electro
n collisions at the Next Linear Collider (NLC) and estimate the lumino
sity attainable in such a machine. We also consider the use of two fut
ure technologies which could simplify the operation and improve the lu
minosity in an e(-)e(-) collider: polarized rf guns and plasma lenses.
