Title: A beam sweeping system for the Fermilab antiproton production target

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/10187116· OSTI ID:10187116

In the Main Injector era beam intensities high enough to damage the antiproton production target will be available. In order to continue to operate with a tightly-focused primary beam spot on the target, and thus maintain yield, it will be necessary to spread the hot spot on the target by use of a beam sweeping system. This report summarizes the requirements for such a system, and addresses the issues involved in the design of a sweeping system.
