The SuperB-Factory accelerator project

Abstract

An international collaboration on the design of a Super B-Factory aiming at a 10 cm s luminosity is in progress. The design relies on a new collision scheme with large Piwinski’s angle and very small IP beam sizes, where possible harmful resonances will be cancelled by the newly proposed “crab waist” method. A Conceptual Design Report has been published in April this year. A review of the design principles and of the project status will be given.
