The SLAC Linear Collider Project (SLC) has two principal goals: to serve as a prototype for a future very high energy linear electron-positron collider and to achieve, at low cost, sufficient luminosity at 100 GeV center-of-mass energy to explore the physics of the Z/sup 0/. At the design luminosity of 6.0 X 10/sup 30/ many thousands of Z/sup 0/ decays should be observed for each operating day. The SLC design parameters, including center-of-mass energy, energy spread, repetition rate, particles per electron-positron bunch, emittance at 50 GeV, beam size at collision point, and luminosity, are presented in this paper, as well as the specifications, construction, and performance rating of supporting systems such as the klystron and storage ring.
