A 8 GeV H- superconducting linac has been proposed as an alternative injector for the Main Injector to support a 2 MW Neutrino program. An injection absorber is required to accept protons generated after the secondary stripping foil which will intercept the un-stripped H- and H0 particles after the MI primary foil injection point. The motivations underlying the choice of a compact internal absorber over an external absorber will be discussed. We show that using a high-Z material (tungsten) for the inner shielding allows the construction a compact absorber that can take a very intense beam and fits within the existing enclosure. The absorber requirements and a shielding design and the results of energy deposition calculations are presented.

  Detailed MARS15 simulations have been performed on energy deposition and shielding of the proposed ILC Test Area absorbers to deal with up to 50 kW of 800 MeV electron beam power and provide unlimited occupancy conditions in the hall. ANSYS analysis based on the calculated energy deposition maps confirms robustness of the proposed design of the absorbers and beam windows for normal operation and for various failure modes. A non-trivial shielding solution was found for the entire region housing the main and single-bunch absorbers.

Estimates indicate that the electron cloud effect could be a limiting factor for Main Injector intensity upgrades, with or without a the presence of a new 8 GeV superconducting 8GeV Linac injector. The effect may turn out to be an issue of operational relevance for other parts of the Fermilab accelerator complex as well. To improve our understanding of the situation, two sections of specially made vacuum test pipe outfitted for electron cloud detection with ANL provided Retarding Field Analyzers (RFAs), were installed in the Tevatron and the Main Injector. In this report we present some measurements, compare them with simulations and discuss future plans for studies.
