Abstract
The PEP beam-transport system was designed to transmit 4-to-15 GeV electron and positron beams from the SLAC linac within a ± 0.8 percent momentum band, to have flexible tuning of the betatron and offmomentum functions for matching into the PEP storage ring, and to have convenient operating characteristics. The transport lines were brought into operation quickly and have operated well. Electron injection has been consistent and efficient and relatively easy to accomplish. Positron injection also has been satisfactory but is variable and more sensitive to ring conditions.
