Two barrier rf systems were fabricated, tested and installed in the Fermilab Main Injector.* Each can provide 8-10 kV rectangular pulses (the rf barriers) at 90 kHz. When a stationary barrier is combined with a moving barrier, injected beams from the Booster can be continuously deflected, folded and stacked in the Main Injector (MI), which leads to doubling of the beam intensity. This paper gives a report on the beam experiment using this novel technology.
