The NuMI Neutrino Beam at Fermilab
Sacha E. Kopp
TL;DR
The NuMI facility at Fermilab is designed to produce a high-intensity, variable-energy muon neutrino beam for short and long baseline experiments, with potential upgrades for increased flux.
Contribution
This paper reviews the design of the NuMI neutrino beam facility and discusses potential upgrades for enhanced neutrino flux.
Findings
NuMI will deliver a 2-20 GeV muon neutrino beam.
The facility is designed for short and long baseline experiments.
Potential upgrades include a Proton Driver for increased flux.
Abstract
The Neutrinos at the Main Injector (NuMI) facility at Fermilab is due to begin operations in late 2004. NuMI will deliver an intense muon neutrino 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.
