This paper concentrates on the accelerator physics processes which are expected to limit the performance of the SSC. There are two broad classes of accelerator physics processes --- single particle and collective. Collective effects are caused by the macroscopic electromagnetic fields generated by the numerous circulating charged particles (about 10{sup 10} particles per bunch). These fields are influenced by the environment, such as the metallic vacuum chamber walls, and act back upon the circulating charged particles. For example, a single bunch can disrupt itself significantly on one pass through a particular structure in an accelerator. Or, if the fields ring for long enough and have the right frequency, a single bunch can be affected on subsequent turns by the disturbance it laid down on a first turn. Multi-bunch effects occur when a trailing bunch reacts to the ringing fields laid down by preceding bunches. The performance of the SSC is considered here only in the context of single particle models, in which a test particle circulates a collider for many turns in the presence of static electromagnetic fields. These fields are conceptually divided into linear restoring forces --- in which the motion is stable --- and nonlinear perturbations.
