A novel scheme for the focusing of high-energy leptons in future linear colliders was proposed 2001 [P. Raimondi and A. Seryi, Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 3779 (2001)].

For high luminosity in electron-positron linear colliders, it is essential to generate low vertical emittance beams.

With the recent progress in surface cleaning, performance of superconducting RF cavities is mostly limited by a quench. It important to understand nature quench origin.
