Status and perspectives of the VEPP-2000

Abstract

The electron-positron collider VEPP-2000 operates at BINP from 2010 year. The application of round colliding beams concept along with the accurate orbit and lattice correction yielded the high peak luminosity of 1.2 × 1031 cm−2 s−1 at 500MeV. The peak luminosity limited only by beam-beam effects, while average luminosity–by present lack of positrons in whole energy range of 160–1000 MeV. To perform high luminosity at high energies the top-up injection is needed. At present new electron and positron injection complex at BINP is commissioned and ready to feed VEPP-2000 collider with intensive beams with energy of 450MeV.
