Fundamental limit of nonscaling fixed-field alternating-gradient accelerators.
Systematic nonlinear space-charge resonances may cause substantial emittance growth in the nonscaling fixed-field alternating-gradient (FFAG) accelerators. To avoid systematic nonlinear space-charge resonances, the phase advance of each nonscaling FFAG cell must avoid pi/2 and pi/3. Using multiparticle numerical simulations, we empirically obtain a minimum tune ramp rate vs the systematic 4th o...
متن کاملA Fixed Field Alternating Gradient Accelerator for Helium Therapy
A non-scaling fixed field alternating gradient (nsFFAG) accelerator is being designed for helium ion therapy. This facility will consist of 2 nested rings, treating with helium ions (He) and image with hydrogen ions (H + 2 ). Compared to protons, ions deliver a more conformal dose with a significant reduction in range straggling and beam broadening. Carbon ions are currently used and there are ...
متن کاملCyclotrons and Fixed-field Alternating-gradient Accelerators
This article describes particle accelerators using magnets whose field strengths are fixed in time to steer and focus ion beams in a spiral orbit so that they pass between (and can be accelerated by) the same electrodes many times. The first example of such a device, Lawrence’s cyclotron, revolutionized nuclear physics in the 1930s, but was limited in energy by relativistic effects. To overcome...
متن کاملMain Magnets Design Studies for the Non-scaling Fixed Field Alternating Gradient Accelerator for a Final Acceleration Stage of the Neutrino Factory*
The International Design Study of the Neutrino Factory (IDS-NF) aims to design the next generation facility for the precision neutrino oscillation searches. The non scaling Fixed Field Alternating Gradient Accelerator was proposed for the final muon beam acceleration in order to reduce the cost of the final acceleration. A superconducting magnet design based on the independent multipole coils a...
متن کاملVERTICAL ORBIT-EXCURSION FIXED FIELD ALTERNATING GRADIENT ACCELERATORS (V-FFAGs) AND 3D CYCLOTRONS
FFAGs with vertical orbit excursion (VFFAGs) provide a promising alternative design for rings with fixed-field (e.g. superconducting) magnets. They have a vertical magnetic field component that increases with height in the vertical aperture, yielding a skew quadrupole focussing structure. Scaling type VFFAGs have fixed tunes and no intrinsic limitation on momentum range; they are also isochrono...
