Summary
•Reasonable booster assumptions:
–5E12 ppp
–Ave 7.5 Hz rep rate
–Up to 1E17 pph w/o tripping rad alarm
(BooNE needs)
•Assuming BooNE runs as planned, the one NuMI-specific booster issue is that of beam cogging!
•With those limits, NuMI can expect 2.7E20 p/year
•Slipstacking (if it worked perfectly!) would increase this by about 30%.
•Increasing the ppp could increase
NuMI’s delivered protons.
