Luminosity Upgrades for ILC

Abstract

The possibility of increasing the luminosity for the ILC at Ecm < 350 GeV centre-of-mass by increasing the beam power are considered. It will be shown that an approximately constant luminosity can be achieved across the centre of mass energy range (250-500 GeV) without exceeding the installed AC power for 500 GeV operation. Overall a factor of four in luminosity over the published baseline could be achieved at 250 GeV resulting in 3*10**34 cm-2s-1. The implications for the damping rings and positron source are also briefly discussed.
