Novel Method of Measuring Electron Positron Colliding Beam Parameters
Through the simultaneous measurement of the transverse size as a function of
longitudinal position, and the longitudinal distribution of luminosity, we are
able to measure the (vertical envelope function at the collision
point), vertical emittance, and bunch length of colliding beams at the Cornell
Electron-positron Storage Ring (CESR). This measurement is possible due to the
significant ``hourglass'' effect at CESR and the excellent tracking resolution
of the CLEO detector.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figures, submitted to NIM
