The preliminary design of the 600 MeV H- linac for the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) injector is described. The linac must provide a 25 mA beam during 7-35 μs macropulses at 10 Hz within injection bursts. Normalized transverse emittances of less than 0.4 π mm-mrad (rms) are required for injection into the Low Energy Booster (LEB) synchrotron. Cost, ease of commissioning, and operational reliability are important considerations. The linac will consist of an H- source with electrostatic low-energy beam transport (LEBT), 2.5 MeV radiofrequency quadrupole accelerator (RFQ), a 70 MeV drift-tube linac (DTL), and 530 MeV of coupled-cavity linac (CCL). The RFQ and DTL operate at 428 MHz and the CCL operates at 1284 MHz. A modest total length of 143 m results from the tradeoff between cost optimization and reliability. The expected performance from beam dynamics simulations and the status of the project are described.
