[en] The SSC Aperture Workshop was held November 5-9, 1984 at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. The workshop focused on issues related to the selection of an optimum aperture for the SSC. Aperture is a critical issue at this early stage of design, because it strongly affects both the construction cost and the satisfactory commissioning and operation of the collider. The workshop had a double purpose: To design a course of action for determining the needed physical and dynamic aperture and commensurate magnetic field specifications of a high luminosity proton collider with a beam energy of 20 TeV, and to prepare a proposal for carrying out the recommended R ampersand D program in two steps -- a four-month intensive phase to provide knowledge essential for conceptual design and magnet selection, and a longer term effort to supply details and ultimately to support the construction, commissioning, and operation of the new collider. To accomplish these objectives, the participants met in the following working groups, each led by a coordinator, which are discussed in this paper: test lattices; aperture requirements; magnet errors; formats, data bases, networks and lattice codes; tracking codes; analytical screening; and experiments on existing machines
