During the design of the Fermilab Main Injector synchrotron it was recognized that the aperture was limited at the beam transfer and extraction points by the combination of the Lambertson magnets and the reused Main Ring quadrupoles located between the Lambertsons. Increased intensity demands on the Main Injector from antiproton production for the collider program, slow spill to the meson fixed target program, and high intensity beam to the high energy neutrino program have led us to replace the aperture-limiting quadrupoles with newly built magnets that have the same physical length but a larger aperture. The magnets run on the main quadrupole bus, and must therefore have the same excitation profile as the magnets they replaced. We present here the design of the magnets, their magnetic performance, and the accelerator performance.

Application of high-energy proton accelerators for high-intensity neutrino beam production is a challenging task from standpoints of accelerator physics and operation. An overview of the machines presently used for neutrino experiments will be given as well as of the future projects, in particular of the Fermilab accelerator complex conversion after the Tevatron Run II completion.

The Main Injector (MI) is going to use slip stacking scheme for the NuMI neutrino experiment for effectively increasing proton intensity to the NuMI target by about a factor two in a MI cycle. The MI is going to accept 11 pluses at injection energy from the Booster and accelerate them to 120 GeV. By using Slip stacking, two of them are merged into one and sent to Anti-proton production and 9 of them, one single and four doubled density pulses, are going to be sent to the Numi beam line. We have been doing low intensity beam studies with 11 pulses injection and accelerated them with the total intensity of 3·1012 ppp to 120GeV. We discuss beam loss and technical issues on multi-batch slip stacking.

High intensity operation of the Fermilab Main Injector has resulted in increased activation of machine components. Efforts to permit operation at high power include creation of collimation systems to localize losses away from locations which require maintenance. As a first step, a collimation system to remove halo from the incoming beam was installed in the Spring 2006 Facility Shutdown*. We report on commissioning studies and operational experience including observations of Booster beam properties, effects on Main Injector loss and activation, and operational results.

A collimation system has been created for removing proton beam halo in the 8 GeV transfer line from the Fermilab Booster to Main Injector. A pair of 1.14 meter collimators with 5.08 cm rectangular apertures are installed in a 5 meter straight section. Horizontal and vertical motion systems allow them to be positioned such that halo can be scraped from four sides. An additional pair of collimators, placed one cell (90 degrees) downstream scrape halo which is of opposite phase. Each collimator pair can scrape about 600 Watts of beam power, limited by long term activation of materials outside of the beam line tunnel. Personnel exposure is reduced by surrounding the iron absorber with a layer of marble. Design features,radiation calculations and instrumentation considerations will be described.

Results of modeling with the STRUCT and MARS15 codes of beam loss localization and related radiation effects are presented for the slipstacking injection to the Fermilab Main Injector. Simulations of proton beam loss are done using multi-turn tracking with realistic accelerator apertures, nonlinear fields in the accelerator magnets and time function of the RF manipulations to explain the results of beam loss measurements. The collimation system consists of one primary and four secondary collimators. It intercepts a beam power of 1.6 kW at a total scraping rate of 5%, with a beam loss rate in the ring outside the collimation region of 1 W/m or less. Based on thorough energy deposition and radiation modeling, a corresponding collimator design was developed that satisfies all the radiation and engineering constraints.

A two-year Large Aperture Quadrupole (WQB) Project was completed in the summer of 2006 at Fermilab.* Nine WQBs were designed, fabricated and bench-tested by the Technical Division. Seven of them were installed in the Main Injector and the other two for spares. They perform well. The aperture increase meets the design goal and the perturbation to the lattice is minimal. The machine acceptance in the injection and extraction regions is increased from 40π to 60π mm-mrad. This paper gives a brief report of the operation and performance of these magnets. Details can be found in Ref**.
