  New collider facility NICA * is envisioned to be built at The Joint Institute of Nuclear Research. The work presented explores issues of correction system of the Booster Synchrotron. The optimal arrangement of Beam Position Monitors and Orbit Correctors along the ring was investigated in order to achieve decent quality of the orbit correction. The SVD properties of the orbit correction system are presented. Optimal arrangement of the sextupole lenses for the correction of chromaticity of the ring was obtained. The reduction of the dynamical aperture due to the presence of the sextupole lenses was minimized by means of proper choice of betatron phase advances between the lenses.

  In the framework of the NICA project the new Booster lattice is designing. The NICA layout includes Electron String Ion Source, 3 Mev/u linac, 600 MeV/u booster synchrotron, upgraded Nuclotron and ion collider. The main goals of the Booster are the following: accumulation of 2*E9 Au32+ ions; acceleration of the heavy ions up to energy required for effective stripping; forming of the required beam emittance with electron cooling system. The present layout makes it possible to place the Booster having 211 m circumference and four fold symmetry lattice inside the yoke of the Synchrophasotron. The features of this booster, the requirement to the main synchrotron systems and their parameters are presented in this paper.
