Theoretical studies of the ANL 12.5-Bev synchrotron are presented. Detailed studies have been made on the straight one-seventh scale model, where changes in hole size and position can be made with relative ease. Several tests were made to check the operation of the analog-to-digital converter. Generator regulation is discussed. Comparative analysis of a number of schemes for ring magnet power supply are in progress. Calculations have been made of the forces expected on the various components of the synchrotron. Ring magnet and ring magnet coil design progress is reported. Studies of the r-f accelerating voltage are described. The design of the 50-Mev BNL linear accelerator has been adapted for use in the synchrotron. Initial design studies were completed for the 124 quadrupole magnets for the linear accclerator. The injection system for the ANL synchrotron will consist of in ion source, a 750-kv preaccelerator, and a 50-Mev linear accelerator. The acceleration of proton beams is being studied. Epoxy plastics were studied to obtain their vacuum, radiation damage, and bonding properties. Recommendations for the layout of experimental areas. the power requirements for these areas, and the characteristics of the various beams are presented. (for preceding period see ANL-5803.)
