Performance of the LEP200 superconducting RF system

The LEP Superconducting RF system has reached its maximum configuration of 288 four-cell cavities powered by 36 klystrons. This has allowed the beam energy to be raised from 45.6 GeV where physics of the Z-particle was studied to well above 80.5 GeV the threshold of W pair production. The search for...

description The LEP Superconducting RF system has reached its maximum configuration of 288 four-cell cavities powered by 36 klystrons. This has allowed the beam energy to be raised from 45.6 GeV where physics of the Z-particle was studied to well above 80.5 GeV the threshold of W pair production. The search for Higgs bosons and other new particles requires even higher beam energies. Currently the maximum operational energy achieved is 101 GeV with the RF system supplying a circumferential voltage of 3500 MV. This requires not only operating the cavities well beyond their design gradient but also demands a very high operational reliability from the entire system. The major developments necessary to achieve this performance are described.
