A preliminary design for a Tau-Charm Factory

A Tau-Charm Factory (/spl tau/cF) with a luminosity of 10/sup 33//cm/sup 2//s has been studied to determine the parameters and feasibility of such a facility. We have primarily looked at a system with a circumference of around 380 m, monochromatic optics, superconducting RF, distributed vacuum pumping and electrostatic bunch separation at the single interaction point. A candidate lattice has been developed and we have begun to determine the specifications of magnets and other components.
