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.
