A 120-GeV Superbooster for Fermilab

A new superconducting accelerator is proposed which would replace the Fermilab Main Ring as an injector for the Energy Doubler and would be a source of protons for producing antiprotons for the p- source. This accelerator would provide 2 × 1013, 120-GeV protons every two and one-half seconds for injection into the Energy Doubler or for antiproton production. The intensity in the Energy Doubler and p-production rate would be increased by large factors. Magnets similar to the Energy-Doubler magnets would be used.
