  Operation, upgrade and development of accelerators for Intensity Frontier face formidable challenges in order to satisfy both the near-term and long-term Particle Physics program. The near-term program continuing throughout this decade includes the long-baseline neutrino experiments and a muon program focused on precision/rare processes. It requires: a) double the beam power capability of the Booster; b) double the beam power capability of the Main Injector; and c)build-out the muon campus infrastructure and capability based on the 8 GeV proton source. We discuss key issues and R&D required for the Intensity Frontier accelerators.

Project X is a high intensity proton facility that will support a world-leading U.S. program in Intensity Frontier physics over the next several decades. Project X is currently under development by Fermilab in collaboration with national and international partners. Project X will be unique in its ability to deliver, simultaneously, up to 6 MW of site-wide beam power to multiple experiments, at energies ranging from 235 MeV to 120 GeV, and with flexible and independently controlled beam time patterns. Project X will support a wide range of experiments utilizing neutrino, muon, kaon, nucleon, and atomic probes [1,2]. In addition, Project X will lay the foundation for the long-term development of a Neutrino Factory and/or Muon Collider.

  This presentation should describe the Project X Injector Experiment (PXIE)and its connection with Project X. It should focus on the novel aspects of PXIE, namely the programmable, bunch-by-bunch chopping of a CW H beam; acceleration in CW superconducting RF structures immediately following the RFQ; operation of SRF structures adjacent to a high-power chopper target; and preservation of high-quality chopped beams with acceptable emittance growth and halo.

A new 150 MeV electron storage ring is being built at Fermilab. The construction of a new machine pursues two goals a test of highly non-linear integrable optics and a test of optical stochastic cooling (OSC). This paper discusses details of OSC arrangements, choice of major parameters of the cooling scheme and experimental tests of the optical amplifier prototype. The amplifier uses highly doped Ti-sapphire crystal as amplification medium. The major goal of experiments is to measure the amplifier dispersion which determines lengthening of single particle signal and the effective bandwidth of the system.

The Project X Injector Experiment (PXIE) will be a prototype of the Project X front end that will be used to validate the design concept and decrease technical risks. It consist of a 30 kV, 5mA H ion source; LEBT; 2.1 MeV CW RFQ; MEBT that forms a desired bunch structure by removing ~80% of bunches; two SC cryomodules accelerating the beam to ~25 MeV; and a beam dump. The PXIE vacuum system faces significant technical challenges, including a large hydrogen flux from the H ion source and large outgassing from the LEBT absorber. The greatest challenge is probably to minimize the risk of degrading re-bunching RF cavities and the nearby SC cryomodule due to the migration of large gas load and microparticles from MEBT absorber. Therefore, it is important to apply low particulate vacuum practices in the vicinity of cryomodules for preventing contamination of the SC cryomodules. Differential pumping is also necessary to protect and ensure reliable operation of the beamline. The conceptual design of the vacuum system is presented in this paper.
 
 
THPHO23 Improvement of Digital Filter for the FNAL Booster Transverse Dampers 1349

  Fermilab Booster has a transverse damping system which independently suppresses beam instabilities in the horizontal and vertical planes. A suppression of the common mode signal is achieved by digital notch filter which is based on subtracting beam positions for two consecutive turns. Such system operates well if the orbit position changes sufficiently slow. Unfortunately it is not the case for Fermilab Booster where the entire accelerating cycle consists of about 20,000 turns and successful transition crossing requires the orbit drifts up to about 10 um/turn resulting in excessive power, power amplifier saturation and loss of stability. To suppress this effect we suggest an improvement to the digital filter which can take into account fast orbit changes by using bunch positions of a few previous turns. To take into account the orbit change up to N-th order polynomial in time the system requires (N + 3) turns of "prehistory". In the case of sufficiently small gain the damping rate and the optimal digital filter coefficients are obtained analytically. Numerical simulations verify analytical theory for the small gain and predict a system performance with gain increase.
