Running
as we are now, the Booster can deliver a little over 1E20 protons
|
|
per year – this is about a factor of six over typical stacking operations, and
|
|
gives
MiniBooNE about 20%
of their baseline.
|
|
|
| • |
NuMI
will come on line in 2005, initially wanting about half of
|
|
|
MiniBooNE’s
rate, but hoping to increase their capacity – through Main
|
|
|
Injector
Improvements – until
it is equal to MiniBooNE.
|
|

Whatever
the lab’s official policy, there will be great pressure (and good
|
|
|
physics arguments) for running MiniBooNE and NuMI at the same time.
|
|
|
| • |
-> By 2006 or so, the Proton Source might be
called upon to deliver
|
|
|
10 times
what it is delivering now.
|
|
|
| • |
At the moment, there is no plan for assuring
this, short of a complete
|
|
|
replacement!
|

So what are we going to try?…
