Cornell University is hoping to build an electron–positron storage ring with 50 GeV in each beam. With superconducting rf cavities, for a given energy the diameter of the ring can be substantially reduced as can the power bill. If the research and development continues to go well, Cornell plans to submit a proposal to the National Science Foundation next year. The estimated cost is $200 million in 1981 dollars. NSF has supported Cornell’s previous accelerators, the 12‐GeV electron synchrotron and its successor, the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, CESR, with 8‐GeV electrons colliding with 8‐GeV positrons.
