Ionization profile monitors (IPMs) are used in the Fermilab Main Injector (MI) for injection lattice matching and to measure transverse emittance of the beam during acceleration. The IPMs provide a periodic, non-destructive means for emittance measurements where other techniques are not applicable. As Fermilab is refocusing its attention on the intensity frontier, non-intercepting diagnostics such as IPMs are expected to become even more important. This paper gives an overview of the operational use of IPMs for emittance measurements and injection lattice matching measurements at Fermilab, and summarizes the future plans.

  Fermilab Main Injector will be required to operate with 3 times higher bunch intensity than today for Project X. The plan to study the space charge effects at the injection energy with intense bunches will be discussed.

Fermilab Main Injector has been operating at high Beam Power Levels since 2008 when multi-batch slip stacking became operational. In order to increase the beam power even further we have to address the localized beam loss due to beam left over in the Injection Kicker Gap during slip stacking. A set of Gap Clearing Kickers that kick any beam left in the injection gap to the beam abort have been installed during the summer of 2009 and became operational in October 2010. The kicker performance and its effect on beam losses will be described.
