The Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment (LBNE) will utilize a neutrino beamline facility located at Fermilab. The facility is designed to aim a beam of neutrinos toward a detector placed in South Dakota. The neutrinos are produced in a three-step process. First, protons from the Main Injector hit a solid target and produce mesons. Then, the charged mesons are focused by a set of focusing horns into the decay pipe, towards the far detector. Finally, the mesons that enter the decay pipe decay into neutrinos. The parameters of the facility were determined by an amalgam of the physics goals, the Monte Carlo modeling of the facility, and the experience gained by operating the NuMI facility at Fermilab. The initial beam power is expected to be ~700 kW, however some of the parameters were chosen to be able to deal with a beam power of 2.3 MW. The LBNE Neutrino Beam has made significant changes to the initial design through consideration of numerous Value Engineering proposals and the current design is described.

	We have developed an novel technique to accurately estimate the density of dilute electron clouds emitted from high intensity proton beams. The strong phase shift enhancement from multiple reflections of standing microwaves in a resonating beam pipe cavity has been demonstrated with numerical modeling using dielectric approximation and e S-parameter measurements. The equivalent dielectric simulation showed a ~ 10 times phase shift enhancement (Pi-mode, 1.516 GHz) with the cavity beam pipe compared to the waveguide model. The position-dependence of the technique is investigated by overlapping the field distributions of harmonic resonances. The simulation with various positions of dielectric insertions confirmed that resonance peaks in phase-shift spectra corresponding to the relative distance between field-nodes and electron cloud position, which allows for one-dimensional mapping. Preliminary experimental studies based on a bench-top setup confirm the results of the simulation showing that thicker reflectors enhance the phase-shift measurement of the electron cloud density.
