Slow Extraction Operations at Fermilab Main Injector
Overview of slow extraction operations at Fermilab Main Injector, covering beam transport, low to medium energy user test beams, Drell-Yan experimental beam, and spill procedures. Details on beam targets, production, and observation of high-energy positrons. Also, insights on spill regulation techniques such as increasing horizontal tune, ramping up quad circuits, and utilizing extraction septa.
