An alternative beam tube/bore tube arrangement for the SSC consists of an elliptical beam tube mounted inside a circular bore tube to intercept the SR from the beam. The beam tube is operated at 80 K and is split at the vertex in order that it may be pumped by the 4.35 K surface of the bore tube. This paper presents the results of stress analysis of the beam tube due to the action of the Lorentz forces during a quench. A stainless steel elliptical support, which supports the beam tube during the quench, is described. 6 refs., 7 figs., 4 tabs.
