Dear All,

I asked Peter's question about the upgrades planned for the PS and SPS -
but Lyn answered in the general context of the LHC upgrades. He said:

1. SPS now operates with parameters consistent with LHC L ~ 10^34
2. Expect to achieve this L in about 4 to 5 years
3. Upgrades in process - a. larger aperture triplets for ATLAS & CMS, b.
  new linac @ 160 MeV H- (replacing 50 MeV p)
4. These two upgrades will be installed in 2012 and give L ~ 4x10^34
5. Upgrade of PS & booster in proposal stage and will be presented to the
  CERN council 2011 for approval to be implemented 2017 to 2018

Hence, roughly a decade before improvement in fixed target (neutrino)
physics. I did not explicitly ask about fixed target or neutrino physics,
however.

Best regards,

       Frank
