For spiral sectors: choosing constant , so the sector axis is a logarithmic spiral: R=R o e  cot  while for the radial sectors B D = -B F.

Dejan Trbojevic, September 21, 2009International Workshop on FFAG09 - Fermilab 13 Basic definitions: The resonance occurs when m  = n = f N p, where  is the tune of the ring, m is order of the resonance driving term, n corresponds to n th harmonic Fourier component of the (m-1) th derivative of the magnetic field, f is an integer and N p is the number of lattice periods. The intrinsic or systematic resonances of an accelerator depend on the number of lattice periods N p through the resonant condition: m x = N p.

Sheehy – ZGOUBI tracking NS-FFAG acceleration study (PAMELA). S. Sheehy: tracking simulations were made to investigate the effect of misalignment on the resulting orbit distortions first without acceleration. Analysis of the results shows that tolerances in alignment have to be better than 0.1 mm. The result of an error in alignment of  = 0.4 mm causes a maximum orbit distortion during acceleration of 1.7 mm in the larger ring.

Dejan Trbojevic, September 21, 2009International Workshop on FFAG09 - Fermilab Shinji Machida: EMMA study simulating proton acceleration: The average radius of the machine is: R avg =2.5 m and circumference of C EMMA ~16.6 m. The "scaled" B  =0.05 Tm to be compared to the carbon central momentum B  =4.23 Tm or proton central momentum of B  =1.62 Tm The maximum orbit offsets during acceleration in EMMA are x max < 16 mm to be compared with: -20 mm <x max < 80 mm of the C = m carbon ring and the -80 mm<x max <180 mm of the C = m ring. For correct simulations, beam amplitudes should scale with the size of the orbit offsets and so the beam sizes and emittances in EMMA should be reduced by factors of 6 and 40, respectively. Electron beam emittances of 20  rad m used in this study had to be reduced to a typical value of 0.5  rad m for a proton therapy ring – why?

Dejan Trbojevic, September 21, 2009International Workshop on FFAG09 - Fermilab Shinji Machida: EMMA study simulating proton acceleration: V. SUMMARY: With particle tracking simulations, the effects of resonance crossing in a linear non-scaling FFAG were studied when there were alignment errors and when an accelerator was operated with a relatively slow acceleration rate of 100 or 1000 turns. When there were practical errors such as a few times 10  m rms misalignment, the resonance behavior started appearing with 100 turns operation and became clear with 1000 turns operation. In the latter case, dynamic aperture practically disappeared. It was shown that the amplitude growth dependence on acceleration rate and alignment error agreed with the analytical formula by Baartman et al.

Dejan Trbojevic, September 21, 2009International Workshop on FFAG09 - Fermilab S. Machida and D. Kelliher: EMMA study By tracking simulation, we studied the orbit and optics distortion in a non-scaling FFAG with alignment and gradient errors. Although integer and half-integer resonance crossing was a primary concern because the betatron tune changes a lot during acceleration, the tracking results do not show any excitation by resonances in orbit and optics distortion at the nominal acceleration rate. The orbit and optics distortion has a linear dependence on the magnitude of errors in a ring. Rather, the simulation results indicate that the distortion is excited by random dipole and quadrupole kicks.

Dejan Trbojevic, September 21, 2009International Workshop on FFAG09 - Fermilab Shinji Machida: EMMA simulation of proton acceleration: The NS-FFAG is a linear machine without tune dependence on amplitude, but the initial emitance size is important as with presence of the magnetic field errors the tune will depend on amplitude. To prevent an increase in transverse space charge levels, the longitudinal extent of the beam should increase by the same factor, which infers that the single EMMA bunch should be replaced by a train of 40 bunches and the need of a much lower frequency acceleration system. T. Yokoi, J. Cobb, K. Peach, and S. Sheehy – NS-FFAG PAMELA study Study using the ZGOUBI code: Emittance blow up was less than two,  < 2, for the input emittances lower than 2 mm mrad if the alignment limits and magnetic field errors were smaller than 0.1 mm and  B/B n < 2  10 -3, respectively.

Blaskiewicz [28]. -The RF frequency needs to be in a high range, 370 MHz) because of required large number of RF cycles between the passages of bunches in order to achieve higher values of Q and to limit the frequency swing. The total stored energy in the cavity is related to the amplitude V RF of the RF voltage as: where  r is the angular resonant frequency, Q is the quality factor, and R is the resistance.

The changes from injection to the maximum energy of 250 MeV between  inj = to  extr. = There is 80 ns time to change the cavity frequency when there is no beam. With Q=50 and f=374 MHz the exponential decay time for the eld is 43 ns, where R=Q 33 at =0.25. If the synchronous voltage is 18 kV, a number of turns required for acceleration of protons is: for twelve cavities (ncav=12). It is very clear that higher effective voltage on the cavities could improve the the resonance crossing problem as well as the patient treatment time. A total power for one RF driver is 100 kW, for twelve cavities this make 1.2 MW and this is a price for the fast acceleration.

Dejan Trbojevic, September 21, 2009International Workshop on FFAG09 - Fermilab 46 Summary A conclusion from the six dimensional acceleration tracking study, through the linear non-scaling FFAG, by the PTC – (Polymorphic Tracking Code) of Etienne Forest is that the emittance blow-up due to crossing resonances agrees very well with the Bartmaan – Guignard’s analytical predictions. Slow acceleration with turns produced large emittance blow-up especially crossing the 1/3 order tune within the cell. Reasonable alignment errors of less than 100  or with random magnetic field errors smaller than  B/B n <10 -3 emittance blow-up was of the order of 1.8. The linear NS-FFAG can cross-resonances without a big problem as long as the alignment tolerances are less <  and random magnetic field errors are smaller than  B/B n <10 -3.
