A Non-Scaling FFAG Gantry Design for the PAMELA Project
نویسندگان
چکیده
A gantry is required for the PAMELA project using non-scaling Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (NS-FFAG) magnets. The NS-FFAG principle offers the possibility of a gantry much, lighter and cheaper than conventional designs, with the added ability to accept a wide range of fast changing energies. This paper will build on previous work to investigate a design which could be used for the PAMELA project.

An FFAG Transport Line for the PAMELA Project
The PAMELA project to design an accelerator for hadron therapy using non-scaling Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (NS-FFAG) magnets requires a transport line and gantry to take the beam to the patient. The NS-FFAG principle offers the possibility of a gantry much smaller, lighter and cheaper than conventional designs, with the added ability to accept a wide range of fast changing energies. This...

متن کاملRecent Results from Optimization Studies of Linear Non-Scaling FFAGs for Muon Acceleration
Because of the highly repetitive nature and simple cell structure of FFAG lattices, it is possible to automatically design these lattices. In designing an FFAG lattice, one will try to meet certain constraints and then minimize some cost function by varying any remaining free parameters. I will first review previously published work on optimized FFAG design. Then I will describe recent advances...
متن کاملOrbit Correction in a Non-scaling Ffag
EMMA the Electron Model of Many Applications is to be built at the STFC Daresbury Laboratory in the UK and will be the first non-scaling FFAG ever constructed. The purpose of EMMA is to study beam dynamics in such an accelerator. The EMMA orbit correction scheme must deal with two characteristics of a non-scaling FFAG: i.e. the lack of a well defined reference orbit and the variation with momen...
متن کاملOptimizing Non-scaling Ffag Lattices for Rapid Acceleration
An approach to fixed field acceleration using exclusively linear optical elements was first proposed[1, 2] and successfully developed[3, 4] to support rapid, large-emittance muon acceleration required by a Neutrino Factory or Muon Collider. This approach was termed, simply, a non-scaling, fixed field alternating gradient (FFAG) accelerator. Lattices have evolved from the simple F0D0-cell baseli...
