Description
The Fermilab accelerator complex has been operating for over half a century. For many years, the centerpiece of the lab's program was the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider, but beginning in the late 1990, the lab began to develop a high intensity program, aimed at neutrino and rare process physics. With the shutdown of the Tevatron in 2011, this became the primary focus of the lab. This talk will summarize the current state of the lab and discuss plans for the future, but approved and tentative. The main parts of this plan are the PIP-II linac, which will replace the largely original linac currently in operation, and the new LBNF line being added to support the DUnE Experiment.
