The NuMI proton beam at Fermilab successes and challenges

Description

The NuMI beam at Fermilab has delivered over 5 x 1020 120 GeV protons to the neutrino production target since the start for MINOS (1) neutrino oscillation experiment operation in 2005. We report on proton beam commissioning and operation status, including successes and challenges with this beam
