A 30 GHz 5-TeV linear collider

We present parameters for a linear collider with a 3 to 5 TeV center-of-mass energy that utilizes conventional RF technology operating at a frequency around 30 GHz. We discuss the scaling laws and assumed limitations that lead to the parameters described and we compare the merits and liabilities of different technological options including RF power source, accelerator structure, and final focus system design. Finally, we outline the components of the collider while specifying the required alignment and construction tolerances.
