Conceptual design for the SSC high energy booster

A tremendous amount of work has been done over the course of the past several years on the design of dipole magnets for the SSC main collider. Although they dominate the total magnet cost for the project and thus deserve the tremendous research and development effort they have received, the main ring magnets represent only part of the magnet requirements for the SSC. This paper presents the work to date on the design of dipole magnets for the SSC high energy booster (HEB). A complete discussion of the design is beyond the scope of this work. Rather it serves as an overview of the main aspects of the complete design. 4 refs., 7 figs
