TU6PFP061 | Progress in Multi-Batch Slip Stacking in the Fermilab Main Injector and Future Plans | 1424 |

The multi-batch slip stacking has been used for operation since January, 2008 and effectively increased proton intensity to the NuMI target by 50% in a MI cycle. The MI accepts 11 pulses at injection energy from the Booster and sends two pulses to Anti-proton production and nine to the NuMI beam line. The total beam power on a cycle was increased to 340 KW on average. We have been doing beam studies in order to increase the beam power to 400 kW and to control the beam loss. We also discuss 12 batch slip stacking scheme which is going to be used for future Neutrino experiments. |
