Review of some important beam physics issues in electron–positron collider designs

Abstract

In this paper, we will give a brief review of some important beam physics in circular and linear electron–positron collider designs, covering beam–beam tune limits, longitudinal and transverse single bunch collective effects, electron cloud and space charge effects, dynamic aperture estimations, etc. The main feature of this review is that the corresponding beam physics treatments are coming from author's previous research works which are scattered in different scientific publications both for circular and linear colliders. With the progresses of future linear colliders, such as ILC, and future circular electron–positron colliders, such as CEPC, it is high time to review the key beam physics issues in the optimization designs of these two kinds of machines.
