Abstract :
An H/sup -/ beam transfer line from the 600-MeV coupled-cavity linac to the Low-Energy Booster (LEB) synchrotron of the SSC injector complex is described. The design takes into consideration space charge effects, the need for beam diagnostics, the effects of magnetic field imperfections, radiation safety, and future upgrade possibilities. It is shown that the linac-LEB transfer line for the SSC injector complex has a flexible design. It can handle almost four times the nominal emittance.<>
