Progress on the German Proton-Synchrotron

In 1967 the Karlsruhe study group has proposed a proton-synchrotron of 40 GeV and 1012 p/s in the extracted beam. The design has been reconsidered both withl respect to utilization and lay-out of the machine. The choice is now 60 GeV and 1013 p/pulse with a separated function lattice. For the first period of operation the machine will be used for counter physics only. The design is therefore mainly determined by the requirements of slow extraction and minimum overall cost. Parameters of the improved machine are given.
