MOPAC16 | Issues and R&D Required for the Intensity Frontier Accelerators | 99 |
|

Operation, upgrade and development of accelerators for Intensity Frontier face formidable challenges in order to satisfy both the near-term and long-term Particle Physics program. The near-term program continuing throughout this decade includes the long-baseline neutrino experiments and a muon program focused on precision/rare processes. It requires: a) double the beam power capability of the Booster; b) double the beam power capability of the Main Injector; and c)build-out the muon campus infrastructure and capability based on the 8 GeV proton source. We discuss key issues and R&D required for the Intensity Frontier accelerators. | ||
MOPMA09 | Status and Opportunities at Project X: A Multi-MW Facility for Intensity Frontier Research | 315 |

Funding: Work supported by the Fermi Research Alliance under U.S. Department of Energy contract number DE-AC02-07CH11359 Project X is a high intensity proton facility that will support a world-leading U.S. program in Intensity Frontier physics over the next several decades. Project X is currently under development by Fermilab in collaboration with national and international partners. Project X will be unique in its ability to deliver, simultaneously, up to 6 MW of site-wide beam power to multiple experiments, at energies ranging from 235 MeV to 120 GeV, and with flexible and independently controlled beam time patterns. Project X will support a wide range of experiments utilizing neutrino, muon, kaon, nucleon, and atomic probes [1,2]. In addition, Project X will lay the foundation for the long-term development of a Neutrino Factory and/or Muon Collider. |
