Fermilab Accelerator Complex
LBNE
Ongoing Accelerator Upgrades
LBNE
Main Injector (being commissioned now): double beam power by stacking beam in the Recycler and decreasing
MI cycle time
Muon Campus (2013-2018): convert antiproton source to
meet needs of the muon program
Proton Improvement Plan (2012-2018): double beam power of the proton source
by increasing rep-rate
40 80 kW @ 8 GeV
350 700 kW @ 120 GeV

Next Accelerator Upgrades
New 800 MeV SRF, CW capable linac:
80 120 kW @ 8 GeV0.7 1.2 MW @ 80 -120 GeV
Ready before LBNE starts
Reorientation of “Project X” (now Proton Improvement Plan II) to focus on beam power for neutrinos.
0.8 to 3 GeV & 3 to 8 GeV linacsreplaces Booster1.2 2.3 MW @ 60 -120 GeV
~5 years years later
Plan to be presented at P5 meeting, 16 Dec at BNL
U.S. neutrino program
• Accelerator based Neutrino Experiments
using Fermilab Accelerators
T2K ICARUS …
• Reactor based Daya Bay, Double CHOOZ, …
• Neutrino-less double beta decay EXO, MAJORANA demonstrator, CUORE, …
Topic for this presentation
Neutrino Program (both n and n beams)
• Measure and characterize the pattern of neutrino masses and mixings:
MINOS / MINOS+ NOvA LBNE• Discover if the situation is more complex than 3 neutrinos with
Standard Model Interactions:
MINOS / MINOS+ NOvA LBNE MiniBooNE MicroBooNE
Proposed: ICARUS, LAr1-ND nSTORM• Neutrino interactions / cross sections and neutrino engineering
measurements that make the above points possible:
MiniBooNE MINERvA MicroBooNE LBNE ND / Proposed: ICARUS, LAr1-ND nSTORM
