Project X to NuMI Initial studies indicate
the technical limit to beam power that could be
accepted by an upgraded NuMI beamline
is 2 MW - however risk analysis is needed
because of reduced redundancy and safety
factor for very difficult-to-repair decay pipe
and absorber Project X to DUSEL No
showstoppers for Project X beam to a new neutrino
beam-line - the specified beam parameters for
2.3 MW can be handled by a
conventional neutrino beam-line - the target and
window cooling are the most challenging aspects

Project X RD Plan

• The RD program supports a facility scope that
  includes
• Modifications to the NuMI facility to support
  operations at 2 MW beam power
• the new target hall to DUSEL options is not
  considered in this report

Corrosion Issues. Detailed Design depends on
size of target chase
Still in conceptual stage. Repair Facility. May
be some overlap, but details depend on crane
coverage, component size

Horn status
Horn 2 now
Still running with original horns in midst of
3rd repair of a water line ceramic transition.
Have accumulated 18 million pulses since May
2005. See visible corrosion.

High Power IHEP Target Design
Design Study of the NuMI Target for 2 MW
Upgrades Task A Report of the Accord between
FNAL and IHEP
May be suitable for up to 2 MW But 10 fewer
neutrinos / POT (Pions cant exit out the sides
as easily as in the fin designs)
