Abstract :
This paper suggests a variable bunch spacing instead of a fixed value in the SSC. This will give a higher luminosity for a given beam current and provide more flexibility in machine operations. Two possible schemes for varying the bunch spacing, namely, bunch coalescing and beam chopping, are studied and compared. Some of these discussions may be useful to future accelerators
