Design of an asymmetric super-B Factory

Journal article

A Super Flavor Factory, an asymmetric energy e+e- collider with a luminosity of order 1036 cm-2s -1, can provide a sensitive probe of new physics in the flavor sector of the Standard Model. The success of the PEP-II and KEKB asymmetric colliders [1,2] in producing unprecedented luminosity above 1034 cm -2s-1 has taught us about the accelerator physics of asymmetric e+e- colliders in a new parameter regime. Furthermore, the success of the SLAC Linear Collider [3] and the subsequent work on the International Linear Collider [4] allow a new Super- Flavor collider to also incorporate linear collider techniques. This note describes the parameters of an asymmetric Flavor-Factory collider at a luminosity of order 10 36 cm-2s-1at the ?(4S) resonance and perhaps about 1035 cm-2s-1 at the τ production threshold. Such a collider would produce an integrated luminosity of about 10,000 fb-1 (10 ab-1) in a running year (107 sec) at the Y(4S) resonance.
