Design of an accelerating cavity for the Superconducting Super Collider Low-Energy Booster

Abstract

B. M. Cam bell & sttpcxcOnducMgsuper liidcr Lalmatory 711ispaper pc.aents the history and curremt s&tua of M design of the =ceicxator c8vity to be incoqmated into he Low-Energy Booster (LEB) of the Supcrccmducting Cupcr Collider (SSC). The LEB is a proton synchrotrons, S40 meters in cifcumfemnce, and having 1(M buckets around the ring. Accelcmion programs, each SOm long, take pke at afatsoflopuaecund. llwbet8c1hallge oftkpmiclesfran injection to exmaction is from 0.8 to 0.997. Since the rf excitation frequency mus track beta, the rf frequency mus shift from 47.5 to 60 MHz oveJ the SO-msec &xeleration program. The cavity will use fede in a Pwpendieular cored bias mdc to effem h rquird uming.
