Book excerpt: The scaling of damping rings for colliding linear accelerator beams is discussed. It was found that low repetition rates should be used to achieve the highest luminosity. Only for very high values of the repetition rate above 104 sec−1 the luminosity is found to increase again with pulse repetition rate. In this regime, however, damping rings are not useful anymore and the operating cost for the facility is very high without gain in luminosity as compared to low repetition rates. Therefore for reasons of economics as well as performance low pulse repetition rates should be chosen and research and development should be denoted to solve tolerance problems encountered at these low pulse rates.
