| Summary:

The PIP-II superconducting RF linac is currently under construction at
Fermilab and is expected to be completed by the end of 2028. PIP-II is capable
of operating in a continuous-wave mode and can concurrently supply 800 MeV
protons to a mega-watt, GeV-scale beam dump facility and to LBNF/DUNE. Designs
for proton accumulator rings are being studied to bunch the PIP-II protons into
the short pulses needed for neutrino and low-mass dark matter experiments.
PIP2-BD is a proposed 100-ton LAr scintillation-only experiment, whose detector
design is inspired by CENNS-10 and CCM, that would have world-leading
sensitivities to BSM physics, including low-mass dark matter produced in the
PIP-II proton beam dump.
