The Basics
• The Booster takes the 400 MeV Linac Beam and accelerates it to  8 GeV.
• From the Booster, beam can be directed to:
• The Main Injector
• MiniBooNE (switch occurs in the MI-8 transfer line).
• The Radiation Damage Facility (RDF) – actually, this is the old Main Ring transfer line.
• A dump.
• The Booster is the only (almost) original accelerator in the Fermilab complex.
• It maintains an average uptime of > 90%
•
