ENERGY SAVER - SUPERCONDUCTING PROTON SYNCHROTRON 

 Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermllab) 

 U.S. Dept. of Energy 



"Big Science" Descriptor ; High-energy physics 



Description of Facility/Instrument ; The Energy Saver project provided 

 a ring of over 1000 superconducting magnets which operate at 

 reduced electric power consumption and have the potential for 

 1000 GeV operation. The conventional magnet accelerator serves 

 as a 150 GeV Injector for the Energy Saver accelerator ring. The 

 Energy Saver was designed to deliver 500 GeV protons to three 

 external experimental areas and protons at about 800 GeV to an 

 Internal target. The Energy Saver Is now operating routinely as 

 part of the overall Fermllab Tevatron capability.
