LEP is a giant evacuated ring with a circumference of 27 kilometers built in an tunnel under the border of Switzerland and France.
The Super Proton Synchrotron (an older ring collider) is used to accelerate electrons and positrons to nearly the speed of light.
As in all ring colliders, the LEP's ring consists of many magnets which force the charged particles into a circular trajectory (so that they stay inside the ring), RF accelerators which accelerate the particles with radio frequency (RF) waves and quadrupoles that focus the particle beam (i.e.

 DAFNE DESIGN STRATEGY
In the case of an electron/positron collider, it is the product of the number of electrons stored in each bunch times the number of positrons stored in each bunch times the frequency of bunch crossings at the interaction point, divided by the cross section area of the beam at the crossing point.
This is a "conventional" storage ring, where a single bunch of electrons and a single one of positrons circulate in opposite directions in the same vacuum vessel, crossing in a low-beta interaction point and being separated at the opposite point in the ring by means of electrostatic fields.
Accelerator experiments performed on storage ring in operation or already shut down have shown that radiation damping, an effect coming from the intense synchrotron radiation emission form the particles inside the storage ring bending fields, is a relevant parameter in the beam-beam interaction limitation to the maximum achievable luminosity.

 [No title]
The LEP storage ring is the last accelerator in a chain of five, each of which handles the same electrons and positrons generated on every pulse by the electron gun and the positron converter.
The speed and efficiency with which the LEP collider was commissioned was the result of careful planning and co-ordination of the testing of components as they were installed in the tunnel and, later, of the extensive programme of global testing without beam, just before the official turn-on date.
The present LEP collider, with its energy upgrade and the future programmes of higher luminosity and polarization, is providing and will continue to provide for the physicists of Europe and the rest of the world, a unique and powerful physics tool for fundamental research in the 1990's.

At present the highest energy accelerators are all circular colliders, but it is likely that limits have been reached in respect of compensating for synchrotron radiation losses, and the next generation will probably be linear accelerators five or ten miles long.
The central idea is that the theory of general relativity can be combined with the observations on the largest scales of galaxies receding from each other to extrapolate the conditions of the universe back or forward in time.

Coupled-bunch instability due to photo-electrons in the positron ring is being studied at BEPC in Beijing jointly by KEK and IHEP.
Finally, because the collider must operate with long bunch trains, we consider the multibunch emittance dilution for two cases: that where the long-range transverse wakefield is purely damped and that where the wakefield is decreased by a combination of weak damping and detuning.

 SLAC's 40th Anniversary Celebration
It was an electron-electron collider, not an electron-positron collider as we have now, but it was the pioneer facility and until recently held the record for circulating current in an electron machine, 0.6 Amp.
With the construction of the huge 27-kilometer circumference LEP electron-positron storage ring collider at the CERN laboratory, it became clear that the line pioneered by SPEAR had reached its practical end.
The size of colliding-beam storage rings for electrons scales as the square of the energy, and so going up by a factor of ten from the energy of LEP would require a machine that was 2700 kilometers in circumference – a financial impossibility, never mind the accelerator issues.

 The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center
With the advent of colliding beam storage rings (SPEAR in 1972) and PEP (in 1980), which are discussed in more detail below, the SLAC linac also served as source and injector for electrons and positrons.
While in PEP-I the electron and positron beams were stored at equal energies in a single ring, PEP-II is equipped with a high-energy ring (HER) for electrons at an energy of 9.1 GeV and a low energy ring (LER) for positrons of 3 GeV.
Colliding electrons and positrons at different energies to boost the motion of the center-of-mass and separating the vertices of the decaying B mesons constitutes another major innovation executed by SLAC in collaboration with LBNL and LLNL.

 Elementary Particles-Electrons, protons, neutrons and antiparticle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-28)
The McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology (1992) defines an elementary particle as "A particle that is not a compound of other particles." By this definition, there are about 500 particles that have been "discovered" in collider experiments.
A single model, the spinning charged ring, accounts for the observed properties of all four elementary particles.
In this model, the structure and shape of the particle are the same, including the ratio of ring diameter to the ring thickness diameter; the size of the ring and its charge each take on two values.

During the major upgrade, the most advanced double ring angle colliding technology will be used, that is to say, one more storage ring will be added in the existing BEPC storage ring so that the electrons and positrons can travel separately in their own storage ring.
The number of e+ e- colliding bunches will be increased to 93 from 1 in each ring.
The upgraded BEPC will maintain its leading position among accelerators of the same kind in the world and become one of the most advanced double ring colliders in the world for precision measurement in the tau charm energy region and probing new physics.
