Abstract

Two beam lines have been designed to transfer 200 GeV protons from the Medium Energy Booster (MEB) to the High Energy Booster (HEB) of the SSC injector complex. At 850 m and 2200 m in length, these are the longest beam transfer lines at the SSC and are intended to inject beam into the bipolar HEB in the clockwise and counter-clockwise directions, respectively. The beam optics is designed so as to facilitate easy tuning and commissioning of these lines. Sources of emittance dilution are identified and estimates of their contribution calculated which serve as basis for specifications of dipole field homogeneity and power supply stability
