Performance limitations of circular colliders: head-on collisions

Accelerator Physics 2014-11-12 v1

Abstract

We review the different performance limitations of circular colliders, namely the limitations of energy reach, maximum attainable luminosity and beam lifetime. This paper considers only head-on collisions. We consider the range of beam energies from 45GeV to 250 GeV and collider circumferences from 20 to 100kms.
