The preliminary design of the LTB (linac to booster) transfer line of the proposed TPS (Taiwan Photon Source) project is considered in this study. The layout presented in this report is based on the booster lattice and the choice of linac parameters. These parameters are adopted from previous report of booster design and typical commercial available products of linac. The simulation result indicates that the desired optical functions at a given location can be readily obtained by varying the appropriate focusing strength of quadrupoles. It provides tuning capability to match various possible options of optical functions at injection location. This report is presented together with design consideration of a set of beam diagnostics instruments.
