Title An Efficient Higgs Factory: The Linear Ghost Collider
Contributors
Abstract A 550 GeV centre-of-mass Higgs factory is presented, the Linear Ghost Collider (LGC). Acceleration and deceleration are performed within SRF linacs where the bunches transported are net neutral, comprising equal charges of electrons and positrons, termed ghost bunches. Within these, one charge partner accelerates, and the other decelerates. Energy is recovered after a collision, and all particles recycled. An accompanying paper - Ghost Collider (GC) - introduces this concept. LGC comprises an alternative configuration to GC that eliminates turn-around arcs. This enables a large reduction in energy lost to synchrotron radiation, and in bunch degradation, in comparison to GC. Two variants of LGC are presented: a pulsed version realisable with proven SRF technology with instantaneous luminosity 35 × 10^34 cm−2 s−1 @ 100 MW electrical power; and a continuous-wave (CW) version based on expected parameters for thin-film Nb3Sn-on-copper SRF technology, capable of 348 × 10^34 cm−2 s−1 @ 160 MW electrical power.
