•Everything measured in 15 Hz “clicks”
•Minimum Main Injector Ramp = 22 clicks = 1.4 s
•MiniBoone batches “sneak in” while the MI is
ramping.
•Cycle times of interest
–Min. Stack cycle: 1 inj + 22 MI ramp = 23 clicks = 1.5
s
–Min. NuMI cycle: 6 inj + 22 MI ramp = 28 clicks = 1.9
s
–Full “Slipstack” cycle (total 11 batches):
• 6 inject
