PEP-II on Track to
Nearly Double BABAR Data Sample
By Kate Metropolis
SLAC set an ambitious goal for run 4 of the PEP-II
accelerator: 100 inverse femtobarns. An inverse femtobarn measures the
intensity of the beams, how frequently they cross, and how long the run
lasts. If this goal is reached, the data sample of the BABAR
collaboration from the first three runs would be nearly doubled by July
2004.
