Lee, Y Y; Lowenstein, D I

We present a proposal for an upgrade of the Brookhaven AGS which would fulfill a growing demand for a hadron facility with proton beam energies 12 -- 60 GeV and intensities 30 -- 100 ..mu..A. The BNL approach to the nuclear and particle physics communities interests involves a step wise intensity upgrade program. At present the AGS slow extracted beam current is 1..mu..A. With the completion of the Booster in 1990 and the associated AGS modifications, the current will rise to 4--5 ..mu..A. With subsequent adition of the Stretcher which is under design, the current will rise to 8--10 ..mu..A and approximately 100% duty factor. We are now examining the possibility of a further enhancement to a current level of 40--50 ..mu..A CW. (AIP)
