The Super-Soc

A new concept in cyclic particle accelerators is described in which time harmonic accelerating fields are produced without recourse to conventional power amplifiers. Instead, the accelerating fields are produced by extracting energy from a bunched beam of particles. In essence the new machine consists of two intimately connectbd Separated Orbit Cyclotrons, one of which is operated in the decelerating mode. The decelerating particles obtain their energy initially from a D. C. high voltage supply.
