Sixteen-year luminosity optimization of BEPCII and its upgrade project
摘要
The Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC) upgrade scheme, BEPCII, has shown good performance in both synchrotron radiation and high-energy physics experiments since 2009. The BEPCII upgrade project was approved in July 2021, according to the new requirements for high-energy physics experiments.
ObjectivesThe luminosity optimization process of BEPCII from 2008 to 2024 and its upgrade project are described in detail.
ResultsThe peak luminosity during the data taking reached 1.1 × 1033 cm-2 s-1 at the beam energy of 1.884 GeV in January 2023. A total of 52.7 fb-1 of data were collected within the beam energy region of 0.920–2.472 GeV, and a series of achievements in the field of high-energy physics has been noted during the past 16 years. The upgrade scheme aims to increase the luminosity by a factor of three at the beam energy of 2.35 GeV and extend the maximum beam energy from 2.47 to 2.8 GeV. The installation of the upgrade project started on July 1, 2024, and the commissioning started on May 2, 2025.
