Abstract
The higher collision energies of colliders planned and contemplated lead to a demand for higher luminosity as well. The dynamical limitations are usually expressed in terms of beam-beam tune shifts. There are other limitations that can be characterized as technological or engineering concerns. These inevitably involve a balance between cost and other considerations. The latter include materials properties, especially superconducting materials. Higher luminosity means higher beam intensity which leads to higher levels of radiation damage and synchrotron radiation with consequences for equipment lifetime and vacuum stability.
