The NuMI Neutrino Beam at Fermilab

  • 1. Department of Physics, University of Texas, Austin, Texas 78712 (United States)

Description

The Neutrinos at the Main Injector (NuMI) facility at Fermilab is due to begin operations in late 2004. NuMI will deliver an intense vμ beam of variable energy 2-20 GeV directed into the Earth at 58 mrad for short (∼1 km) and long (∼700-900 km) baseline experiments. Several aspects of the design are reviewed, as are potential upgrade requirements to the facility in the event a Proton Driver is built at Fermilab to enhance the neutrino flux
