A TEST OF THE ELECTRON PROPAGATOR BY MODIFICATION OF THE PRINCETON-STANFORD STORAGE RINGS,

Abstract

The Princeton-Stanford colliding-beam experiment has verified quantum electrodynamics up to 1.1 GeV/c as far as the photon propagator is concerned, and further runs at 550 MeV during 1966 will extend that limit a factor three in sensitivity. In this report the question of modification of the rings for operation on positron-electron colliding beams at 550 MeV is discussed. It is pointed out that a conversion can be accomplished without major hardware changes, and that the resulting positron-electron storage ring could then be used for a very clean test of the electron propagator up to twice the invariant mass at which an apparent electrodynamic breakdown has been found at CEA.
