Physics at VEPP‐4 e+e collider

FEB 01, 1981

A new electron–positron storage ring, at Novosibirsk in central Siberia, has recently begun doing physics. The VEPP‐4 colliding‐beam accelerator is designed to collide electrons with positrons at center‐of‐mass energies up to 14 GeV. When it achieves its design energy and luminosity, VEPP‐4 will be one of only two e+e storage rings in the world capable of producing at high rates the “bottom‐flavored” mesons that carry the recently discovered bottom (b) quark (PHYSICS TODAY, October 1980, page 19).
