The proposed Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) is a high-luminosity proton-proton colliding-beam accelerator, unique in the world, providing access to particle collision energies at least an order of magnitude greater than are available at existing facilities. The design of the SSC has been previously described. Although not the final SSC design, this paper updates the previous design to include the changes due to the change in cell phase advance from 60 to 90 degrees, and particularly emphasizes the underlying accelerator physics issues which are involved in the SSC. A brief history of the SSC program is given followed by detailed design considerations.
