FFAG’ J. Pasternak, IC London/RAL Nonlinear Nonscaling FFAGs (NNSFFAG -?) were proposed by G. Rees. They use nonlinear fields for various reasons, but off-momentum orbits do not scale. Motivations for medical Nonlinear Nonscaling design: Reduction of orbit excursion with respect to scaling designs – in order to achieve energy variability by kicker system and reduce the magnet cost Acceleration with (quasi)constant tunes in order to allow for low RF gradient. Acceleration based on MA cavities with modest gradient. Nonliner fields are used to control tune variation. Lattice studies for PAMELA

FFAG’ J.

FFAG’ J. Pasternak, IC London/RAL Motivations for FFAG proton driver for Neutrino Factory Very high repetition rate – 100 Hz or more Constant magnetic field Simple operation Cost effective Magnet and RF technology known FFAG can boost linac energy (by factor 3-4 in momentum) Main parameters of neutrino factory proton driver: 4 MW 50 Hz 5 – 10 GeV 3-5 bunches at 2 ns (rms)

FFAG’ J. Pasternak, IC London/RAL Current scenario – G. Rees: limited to 50 Hz 2 rings low injection energy complicated lattice cell (5 magnets) RCS 50 Hz 50 Hz, 3 GeV 200 MeV H - Linac NF Proton Driver (2) FFAG – 10 GeV

Pasternak, IC London/RAL 800 MeV H - Linac Neutrino factory target, 4 MW, 50 Hz, 5GeV 5 GeV, 5 MW FFAG, 100 Hz NF Proton Driver (4) Neutron production target, 2.5 MW, 50 Hz,2.5 GeV Now 1 FFAG ring! 100 – 200 Hz for booster FFAG operation possible Operation as an accumulator ring possible Alternative 2)

FFAG’ J. Pasternak, IC London/RAL Scaling or Non-scaling ? High intensity operation requires chromaticity close to zero -> scaling! But …non-scaling designs allow for smaller orbit excursion and simpler magnets. Nonlinear non-scaling, tune stabilized lattices may be a solution.

FFAG’ J. Pasternak, IC London/RAL Summary and future plans FFAGs are perfect machines for many applications! We need to compare a scaling designs with the non-scaling tune stabilized ones. Tune stabilization has to be studied in detail. Space charge simulations have to be performed. Possibility to introduce insertions has to be studied.
