SSC test lattices

A set of eight test lattices for the SSC have been devised for such purposes as the investigation of the dependences of chromatic properties and dynamic aperture on the type, field, physical aperture and errors of the magnets, on the sextupole correction scheme, on the tunes and on the cell phase advances. They are distinguished from realistic lattices in that certain features of the latter are missing - most notably the crossing magnets that bring the two counter-rotating proton beams into collision at the interaction points, and the utility insertions, which are the sites for the injection, beam abort, and radiofrequency systems. Furthermore the placement of magnets in the cells is simplified. 7 refs., 9 figs., 2 tabs
