Synchrotron Radiation Research and Application at VEPP-4VEPP-4 is a multipurpose storage ring facility at Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (Novosibirsk, Russia) with several research programs including high energy physics in colliding beam mode, nuclear physics, synchrotron radiation, accelerator physics study, etc. The paper discusses VEPP-4 activities relating to generation and application of synchrotron radiation not only for SR user community but for beam diagnostics in storage ring as well.
STCF conceptual design report (Volume 1): Physics & detectorM. Achasov, X. Ai, L. P. An et al.|Frontiers of Physics|2023 Abstract The super τ -charm facility (STCF) is an electron–positron collider proposed by the Chinese particle physics community. It is designed to operate in a center-of-mass energy range from 2 to 7 GeV with a peak luminosity of 0.5 × 10 35 cm −2 ·s −1 or higher. The STCF will produce a data sample about a factor of 100 larger than that of the present τ -charm factory — the BEPCII, providing a unique platform for exploring the asymmetry of matter-antimatter (charge-parity violation), in-depth studies of the internal structure of hadrons and the nature of non-perturbative strong interactions, as well as searching for exotic hadrons and physics beyond the Standard Model. The STCF project in China is under development with an extensive R&D program. This document presents the physics opportunities at the STCF, describes conceptual designs of the STCF detector system, and discusses future plans for detector R&D and physics case studies.

Bogomyagkov, E. Levichev, D. Shatilov|Physical Review Special Topics - Accelerators and Beams|2014 Several proposals exist for future circular electron-positron colliders designed for precise measurements of the Higgs boson characteristics and electroweak processes. At very high energies, synchrotron radiation of the particles in a strong electromagnetic field of the oncoming bunch (beamstrahlung) becomes extremely important, because of degradation of the beam lifetime and luminosity. We present theoretical calculations of beamstrahlung (including the beam lifetime reduction and the energy spread increase) which are benchmarked against quasi-strong-strong computer simulations. Calculation results are used to optimize TLEP (triple LEP) project (CERN).
