PIP-II Project Progress and Challenges
Abstract
The Proton Improvement Plan-II (PIP-II) project is under construction to provide the Fermilab Accelerator Complex with a new H- superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) linac and beam transfer line delivering 800 MeV protons at Booster injection at double energy and double intensity (6.7x1012 protons per 20 Hz pulse) in comparison with the present Linac. The design goals of PIP-II Linac will be described, including delivering 1.2 kW beam power on Long Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) target, continuous wave (CW) operation compatibility and future upgrades. The progress of the Linac construction and the development of the Commissioning Plan will be presented. Finally, the challenges of operating the SRF Linac to drive the Fermilab Booster will be addressed.
