Abstract

A superconducting accelerator of heavy nuclei, the Nuclotron, which is now under construction, will have a linac as an injector in the first phase of operation. To increase beam intensities substantially, it is planned to construct a booster of a 200-MeV/u energy for nuclei (650 MeV for protons). The Synchrophasotron should be replaced by this complex. The intensity of heavy ion beams will be increased by more than a factor of 10 by means of multiturn injection into the booster and five injection cycles in the main ring. For protons and deuterons it will be up to 10/sup 13/ ppp. One of the long straight sections is designed for electron cooling, which will decrease emittance by a factor of 10-100 and will give a momentum spread of 10/sup -4/ to 10/sup -5/.<>
