• To achieve unprecedented luminosity levels for particle physics research.

Main Methods:

• Generation of extremely long particle bunches ("superbunches") using multibunch stacking with barrier buckets.
• Acceleration of superbunches using step voltage induced in induction gaps.
• Employing a combination of vertical and horizontal crossing angles to manage beam-beam tune shift.

Main Results:
