A multi-MW pro­ton fa­cil­ity, Pro­ject X, has been pro­posed and is cur­rently under de­vel­op­ment at Fer­mi­lab. We are car­ry­ing out a pro­gram of re­search and de­vel­op­ment aimed at in­te­grated sys­tems test­ing of crit­i­cal com­po­nents com­pris­ing the front end of the Pro­ject X. This pro­gram is being un­der­taken as a key com­po­nent of the larger Pro­ject X R&D pro­gram. The suc­cess­ful com­ple­tion of this pro­gram will val­i­date the con­cept for the Pro­ject X front end, thereby min­i­miz­ing a pri­mary tech­ni­cal risk el­e­ment within Pro­ject X. In­te­grated sys­tems test­ing, known as the Pro­ject X In­jec­tor Ex­per­i­ment (PXIE), will be ac­com­plished with a new test fa­cil­ity under con­struc­tion at Fer­mi­lab and will be com­pleted over the pe­riod FY12- 17. PXIE will in­clude an H− ion source, a CW 2.1-MeV RFQ and two su­per­con­duc­tive RF (SRF) cry­omod­ules pro­vid­ing up to 25 MeV en­ergy gain at an av­er­age beam cur­rent of 1 mA (upgrad­able to 2 mA). Suc­cess­ful sys­tems test­ing will also demon­strate the vi­a­bil­ity of novel front end tech­nolo­gies that are ex­pected find ap­pli­ca­tions be­yond Pro­ject X.
