Title :
Status of the Fermilab fixed target program
Author_Institution :
Fermi Nat. Accel. Lab., Batavia, IL, USA
Abstract :
Fermilab is in the midst of an 800 GeV fixed target run involving ten external beam lines and the operation of the pbar source for two additional experiments. Details of the preparation are presented with an emphasis on how changes from the last run have impacted the current run. Statistics and graphical representations show the progress toward meeting the goals of the program. An overview is presented of the external (floods...) and internal (machine instabilities...) challenges encountered during the run
