The Low and Medium Energy Boosters are two of a sequence of five accelerators at the SSC. The 0.35 mile (0.54 km) Low Energy Booster will receive beams of protons from a linear accelerator at an energy of 600 million electron volts and boost their energy with radio frequency pulses to 11 billion electron volts. The 2.4 mile (4 km) Medium Energy Booster will further accelerate the beams to 200 bllion electron volts. Both these boosters use resistive electromagnets to guide the protons. The beams then will enter a 6.7 mile (10.8 km) High Energy Booster that will increase the protons' energies to 2 trillion electron volts and then inject the beams in opposite directions into the main 54 mile (87 km) collider rings to be guided by superconducting magnets. The collider will then further accelerate the two beams to 20 trillion electron volts so that the resulting collision between the beams will occur with a total energy of up to 40 trillion electron volts.
