The use of nonlinear lattices with large betatron tune spreads can increase instability and space charge thresholds due to improved Landau damping. Unfortunately, the majority accelerator turn out be nonintegrable, producing chaotic motion a complex network stable unstable resonances. Recent advances in finding integrable have led proposal construct at Fermilab test strong focusing which avoids resonances particle motion. This presentation will outline main challenges, theoretical design solutions construction status Integrable Optics Test Accelerator underway Fermilab.
