Possibilities of SSC device testing at the Serpukhov 70-GeV accelerator

摘要

The possibilities for the testing and measurement of different physical facilities related to the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) are considered. The Institute for High Energy Physics (IHEP) accelerator complex at Serpukhov, Russia, is described, and technical parameters are presented. Generally, the beam extraction and beam line systems are described because both systems constitute the environment in which the physicist finds himself, and most often these systems define the final possibilities of experimental set-up for a fixed-target run. Three groups of SSC problems may be examined at the existing 70-GeV accelerator at IHEP: the study of radiation resistance of various devices, the study of beam monitor performances, and the testing and investigation of modules of collider detectors.
