Abstract :
The SSC (Superconducting Super Collider) coupled cavity linac (CCL) will be a side-coupled structure operating at 1284 MHz to accelerate a nominal 25-mA H/sup -/ beam from 70 MeV to 600 MeV. Results of both cavity design and beam dynamics studies are presented. Each accelerating cavity is optimized by SUPERFISH; coupled cavity characteristics in the region of low-, mid-, and high-energies are checked by MAFIA-3D. MAFIA-3D was also used to design the bridge coupler systems. The beam dynamics and error analysis are simulated by CCLDYN and CCLTRACE. Possible future upgrading of the CCL to 1 GeV is also discussed.<>
