Project X is a multi-megawatt proton facility being designed to support intensity frontier research in elementary particle physics, with possible applications to nuclear physics and nuclear energy research, at Fermilab. A Functional Requirements Specification has been developed in order to establish performance criteria for the Project X complex in support of these multiple missions. This paper will describe the Functional Requirements for the Project X facility and the rationale for these requirements.

Experience with Recently Commissioned High Power Proton Accelerators and Prospects for the Future

S. Henderson

Two major high power proton accelerator facilities have recently been commissioned and are now in the early operations phase. The Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) at JAEA, Tokai, Japan completed commissioning in 2009 and is now operating at beam power as high as 300 kW for the neutron scattering program, while providing beams also for the neutrino program. The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory is now operating at 1 MW beam power on target for its neutron scattering program. These facilities incorporate modern high-power accelerator design principles and their experience serves as a valuable stepping-stone to the high-power accelerators of the future, namely Project-X, the European Spallation Source, and accelerators for nuclear energy. Experience with commissioning and initial operation of these new facilities will be described and prospects for the future will be summarized.
