Accelerator Upgrades Required for Beam Operation at Fermilab in the PIP-II/DUNE Era
The Proton Improvement Plan - II (PIP-II) injector linac is an 800 MeV superconducting H$^-$ linac, christened Linac2, that will replace the existing 400 MeV injector to the accelerator complex at Fermilab. The higher energy, intensity and repetition rate require various upgrades to the existing accelerator complex consisting of the Booster, the Recycler Ring and the Main Injector, in order to be able to accept and accelerate beam from PIP-II. In this paper we discuss various upgrades that are required and steps being taken to implement them.
