Abstract

A systematic study of lattice designs proposed for the SSC (Superconducting Super Collider) Low Energy Booster in which the dynamic behavior of high transition gamma lattices is compared with that of a simpler FODO-like machine has been performed. After optimization of the transverse tunes, the dynamic aperture is determined by tracking the chromaticity corrected, ideal lattices, where the only sources of nonlinearity are the chromaticity sextupoles. The robustness of the lattices against misalignment, systematic and random errors is then evaluated and error compensation schemes worked out. The computational speed of the TEAPOT code has been enhanced by porting and running its tracking core on the Intel iPSC/860 parallel computer.<>
