Abstract :
The author presents an overview of the end-1988 performance and limitations of the whole CERN hadron collider complex since the ACOL (Antiproton Collector) upgrade was begun. The post-ACOL design goals for the collider are a peak luminosity of 4×1030 cm-2 s-1 along with a luminosity lifetime appreciable greater than 10 h. In order to achieved this the antiproton production rate must approach 6×1010 p¯/hr with an accumulated peak beam of 1×1012 circulating antiprotons. During 1988, the collider got to within two thirds of its full promise. Some of the problems preventing the attainment of the design goals are described along with the prescribed solutions for 1989
