【 摘 要 】

In order to meet the needs for protons for MINOS and other experiments, substantial improvements will be necessary in the Booster and Main Injector. They have evaluated a number of improvements which would yield an increase in the number of protons on target for NuMI and Mini-BooNE in the years 2005-2008. They outline a possible program of improvements in the Booster and Main Injector which can be implemented in steps over a five year period and which could result in an increase in proton intensity through the Main Injector which is approximately four times what is currently possible. They provide a list of specific improvements and suggest a possible schedule for the implementation.
