Abstract
A project of the system of heavy-ion beam injection into the Booster synchrotron of the NICA accelerator complex developed at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna) is considered. The proposed system provides multivariant injection for accumulating beams with required intensity. The main methods of beam injection into the Booster are described. These are the methods of one-turn, multiturn, and multiple injections. The results of beam dynamics simulations are presented.
