It is proposed to store protons as well as electrons and positrons in the DESY storage ring, DORIS, The techniques planned for accomplishing this and the hoped for results are described.
During the last year the e-e+-storage ring DORIS was changed from a 2 x3,5 GeV double ring with 2 x 480 bunches circulating to a single ring single bunch machine with a maximum energy of 2 x5.1 GeV. The modifications in the magnet structure and of the rf system are described. The main problems at higher energie,s were due to magnet saturation and insufficient sextupole strength. To overcome transverse instabilities, a feedback system had to be used. Experimental data in the c.m. energy range of 9.5 to 10.1 GeV were taken successfully with luminosities up to 25 nb-1 per day.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
