The project of the Super Charm-Tau Factory in Novosibirsk

Abstract

Abstract Electron-Positron collider Super Charm-Tau factory at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (BINP) will operate at energies in center of mass W=2-6 GeV with unprecedented high luminosity of 1035cm−2s−1 and the longitudinal polarization of the electrons at the interaction area. The main purpose of the experiments at the collider is search for effects of CP-violation in the decays of charmed particles, tests of the Standard Model in the decay of the τ-lepton, the search and study of an entirely new forms of matter: glueballs, hybrids, etc. The data, which are planned to record, by 3-4 orders exceed everything that has been recorded so far in any other experiment in this energy range. Conceptual designs of the collider based on crab-waist technique and universal detector are developed and presented. Preliminary physics program are considered. Progress of R&D for detector systems are given.
