| abstract: | This document results from a visit to the Institute for High Energy Physics in Protvino, Russia, by a group of U.S. physicists during 13-15 July, 1992. The purpose of the trip, which was supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation, was to learn about the state of the UNK superconducting 3 TeV accelerator complex and also to understand the cost and magnitude of the task required to complete the machine. If completed, UNK could provide a unique High Energy Physics facility. First, a collider version could serve as an excellent Factory to study the decay of Beauty particles. Secondly, the 3 TeV proton beam may be the highest energy available for a fixed target physics program. Although the superconducting magnet design is mature and tests have been successful, severe budget cutbacks have brought the project to a virtual halt. A realistic goal for IHEP may be the expeditious completion of UNK-1, the 600 GeV booster ring, in parallel with the pursuit of international collaboration on fiscal, technical and management support for the 3 TeV project. |
