Description

The last few years have brought renewed demands for Fermilab protons. The primary users of protons are the neutrino experiments and anti-proton production. The neutrino experiments require large numbers of protons at 8 GeV and 120 GeV from the Booster and Main Injector accelerators to service MiniBooNE and NuMI/MINOS. Anti-proton production requires large numbers of protons at 120 GeV, along with strict requirements on beam emittances. Numerous projects are underway or under consideration to increase the number of protons delivered. These projects include, among other: improvements to the Booster accelerator to allow a greater number of protons per cycle and less radiation produced per proton; stacking techniques in the Main Injector to combine Booster batches; improvements to the Main Injector to accelerator more protons or to do so faster; and even considerations for a new proton driver as a replacement for the Booster. I will discuss the current results of these efforts as well as future plans.
