The technical design report (TDR) of the TESLA superconducting
linear collider with an integrated X-ray FEL facility, has been published in
the spring of 2001 by an international collaboration. It includes a description
of the high energy physics programme, a proposal for the detector, and the
collider design relying on the technical results from the TESLA Test Facility
(TTF). We review the results achieved by the TESLA
collaboration on the superconducting RF technology and beam
acceleration at the TTF linac. We highlight some aspects of the collider
design and briefly describe the cost study attached to the TDR. |
