A Combined Function Magnet Option(Estimated cost savings for VLHC)

SSC Main Quads: ~$200 million; VLHC: ~$400 million (x2 not 2.5)

Additional savings also from tunnel, interconnect, contingency, etc.

Estimated savings by eliminating main quads: ~$500 million (1990)

SSC: 20+20 TeV; VLHC: 50+50 TeV

Another Major Sub-system: HEB

2 TeV HEB Cost in SSC (derived):

$700-800 million

Estimated for 5 TeV (5-50 TeV vlhc):

~$1,500 million

A possibility to save 70-80% of it follows.

Cost savings in equivalent 20xx $?

AP Challenge:

Retaining benefits of Synchrotron Damping

(1990 Estimates in US$)

Total:

$2,037 million
