Abstract
BNL plans to create a very long baseline super neutrino beam facility by upgrading the AGS from the current 0.14Â MW to 1.0Â MW and beyond. The proposed facility consists of three major components. First is a 1.5Â GeV superconducting linac to replace the booster as injector for the AGS, second is the performance upgrade of the AGS itself for higher intensity and repetition rate, and finally is the target and horn system for the neutrino production. The major contribution for the higher power is from the increase of the repetition rate of the AGS from 0.3Â Hz to 2.5Â Hz, with moderate increase from the intensity. The accelerator design considerations to achieve high intensity and low losses for the new linac and the AGS will be presented. The target and horn design for high power operation and easy maintenance will also be covered.
