DANFYSIK A/S will build the full-energy booster for the Australian Synchrotron Project. The Booster will accelerate the beam from the injection energy of 100 MeV to a maximum of 3.0 GeV. The Booster shall accelerate either a single bunch or a bunch train up to 150 ns. The current accelerated to 3 GeV will be in excess of 0.5 and 5 mA for the two modes, respectively. The circumference of the Booster is 130.2 m, and the lattice will have four-fold super-symmetry with four straight sections for RF, injection, special diagnostics and extraction. The lattice is designed to have many cells with combined-function magnets (dipole, quadrupole and sextupole fields) in order to reach a very small emittance of around 30 nmrad. A small emittance is beneficial, in particular for top-up operation. Details of the lattice design and beam dynamics of the booster will be presented.
