Summary:
The physics reach of the SSC can eventually be extended considerably by an increase in luminosity. New heavy particles and other phenomena with robust signatures would be readily identified even in the presence of large numbers of simultaneous background interactions. As an example, this note examines the case in which the number of protons per SSC bunch is increased by a factor of ..sqrt..10, while other parameters are held fixed at their CDR values, to give a luminosity of 10/sup 34/cm/sup -2/sec/sup -1/. Impacts of the increased beam current on beam stability and the various subsystems are discussed. No fundamental problems have been found. While equivalent in some ways to a doubling of the energy, the costs of such a luminosity upgrade are small compared to the initial cost of the SSC. These costs are still substantial in absolute terms, however, especially in the area of cryogenic refrigeration. It is recommended that flexibility be built into the SSC to facilitate upgrades in a cost efficient manner.
