Construction of a new Tevatron collider beam abort dump

As part of the collider upgrade, a new abort system is to be installed in the Tevatron at A0. It consists of two sets of fast kickers and two 90% full aperture graphite beam dumps. The system has 10 steel cored kickers, 5 at each end of the straight section, 2 internal beam absorbers, and 2 sets of beam position monitors, one set in front of each absorber. The kickers are each 88.06-in long while each absorber is 188-in long. Before a collider run can begin, all devices in A0 used for fixed target extraction must be removed. The abort system will be mounted on moveable plates and rolled in after the extraction devices are moved out. This system will abort both protons and antiprotons. Details of the beam dump design and construction are presented.<>
