The Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) Experiment (E906) is part of a series of fixed target Drell-Yan experiments designed with the purpose of measuring the quark and antiquark structure of the nucleon and the modifications to that structure which occur when the nucleon is embedded in a nucleus. Fermilab proposes to build and operate a spectrometer in the New Muon 4 (NM4) Hall and renovate the 120 giga-electron volt (GeV) beam line from enclosure B to NM4. The 120 GeV beam is necessary for the experiment and Fermilab is uniquely capable of providing this via its existing facility.
