Topics to be studied:
Electroweak physics:
What beamstrahlung, energy spread can we tolerate, how and how well can we measure them?
What requirements do we have on polarimetry with/without positron polarisation and what is feasible?
How do dispersion effects and time dependencies affect the measurement?
What precision on the beam energy can we reach at the Z and the W-pair threshold?
Do we need polarimeters and energy measurement behind the IP?
What is the expected uncertainty on event selection and luminosity measurements?
B physics:
Which measurements can give competitive results to the e+e- B-factories and the hadron machines?
Are 10^9 Zs enough or do we need more?
How many events per bunch crossing, train can we tolerate?
Are their special detector requirements (smaller beampipe, particle ID, better ECAL...)?
