  • Abstract
    The Medium Energy Booster (MEB), a synchrotron using conventional (non-superconducting) magnets, is described. It has a momentum range from 12 GeV/c to 200 GeV/c. There are two modes of operation: slow spill for test beams and collider injection operation. Two design issues that make the MEB unique at the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) are that it goes through transition and it utilizes slow extraction for test beams.<>
