Abstract
The Fermilab Booster is a fast-cycling synchrotron which accelerates protons from 400 MeV to 8 GeV of kinetic energy. Until recently, the primary demand for protons was for antiproton production, which typically uses about 7E15 protons per hour. Over the next few years, the Fermilab neutrino program will increase that demand dramatically, possibly beyond 1.8E17 protons per hour. This paper discusses the issues involved in reaching these intensities, and the plan for achieving them.
