Abstract

The Fermilab Main Injector is a new 150 GeV synchrotron now in the fourth year of a scheduled seven year funding profile. An R&D program has been completed, and both civil construction and the production of technical components are well underway. The Main Injector Project is part of a larger upgrade program at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory called Fermilab III which is designed to ensure a collider luminosity in excess of 5×10³¹ cm^-2 sec^-1 while simultaneously providing a 2 microAmp resonantly extracted 120 GeV beam. The 120 GeV beam will provide unique capabilities in the realm of rare neutral K decays and long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. The expected performance characteristics of the Main Injector will be discussed, and the status of the construction and the schedule for completion will be reviewed
