Abstract

Experiment 907 at Fermilab will be conducted in the Meson Center beam enclosure. The purpose of this experiment is to measure cross sections for hadron production from nuclear interactions using pions, kaons and proton beams in the momentum range from 5 to 120 GeV/c. Light to heavy targets will be used to study the scaling laws of hadronic fragmentation and light meson and baryon spectroscopy. Design aspects for the experiment´s beamline are presented. The lattice, in particular the secondary beamline design, the primary target, and the collimation system are covered.
