Abstract :
The beam optics of the transfer line between the Low Energy Booster (LEB) and the Medium Energy Booster (MEB) at the Superconducting Super Collider Laboratory is presented. The 12 GeV/c proton beam is extracted from the LEB and injected into the MEB at strictly defined extraction and injection points. The beamline has a high flexibility for β and η function matchings. Effects of various errors are studied, and a beam position correction scheme is proposed
