The main goal of the Nuclotron booster construction are following: accumulation up to 4·10⁺⁹ Au³²⁺ ions; acceleration of the ions up to energy of 600 MeV/u that is sufficient for stripping of the ions to the bare nucleus state; simplification of the requirements to the vacuum conditions in the Nuclotron; forming of the required beam emittance at the energy of 100 MeV/u with electron cooling system. The features of this booster, the requirement to the main synchrotron systems and their parameters are presented.
