Abstract

The design of the SSC is briefly reviewed, including its key machine parameters. The scientific objectives are twofold: a) investigation of high‐mass, low‐rate, rare phenomena beyond the standard model; and b) investigation of processes within the domain of the standard model. Machine luminosity, a key parameter, is a function of beam brightness and current, and it must be preserved through the injector chain. Features of the various injectors are discussed. The superconducting magnet system is reviewed in terms of model magnet performance, including the highly successfully ASST. Various magnet design modifications are noted, reflecting minor changes in the collider arcs and improved installation procedures. The paper concludes with construction scenarios and priority issues for ensuring the earliest collider commissioning.
