TL;DRAbstract

A design study is presented for a 600 MeV proton synchrotron to yield an average current of 20 microamperes. Its purpose is production of negative pions for use in cancer therapy. The machine consists of a 4 MeV electrostatic preinjector, a 20 MeV linac injector, and a magnet ring about 20 meters in diameter. (auth)
