Recent experience with backgrounds at the SLC
Abstract
During the 1990 SLC (Stanford linear Collider)/Mark II runs, machine backgrounds visible in the new vertex detectors were studied. From the start, synchrotron background in the main Mark II tracking chamber was significantly reduced from the prior year's run. Occupancies, which had been 15% to 20% during the previous year, were now below 5%. The improvement is attributed to the additional collimators at the end of the LINAC, which made it …
