Recent Beam Studies of the Pop Ffag Proton Synchrotron
نویسندگان
چکیده
The PoP(Proof of Principle) FFAG accelerator, which was the world first FFAG proton synchrotron, was constructed at KEK. After the first proton beam acceleration of FFAG, we studied various aspects of the PoP FFAG. The observed beam orbit shift during the acceleration was consistent with the simulation result. It was confirmed that the beam intensity increased about five times with multi-bunch injection. The horizontal acceptance of the PoP FFAG was estimated at about 4000π mm.mrad experimentally.

Towards an FFAG Proton Driver
High intensity proton drivers are needed for neutron production, the Neutrino Factory, muon colliders, etc. Due to its high repetition rate, the FFAG principle offers the possibility of a unique facility, which would be capable of delivering enough beam power for multiuser needs. Various possible designs are discussed.
متن کاملA Cw Ffag for Proton Computed Tomography
An advantage of the cyclotron in proton therapy is the continuous (CW) beam output which reduces complexity and response time in the dosimetry requirements and beam controls. A CW accelerator requires isochronous particle orbits at all energies through the acceleration cycle and present compact isochronous cyclotrons for proton therapy reach only 250 MeV (kinetic energy) which is required for p...
متن کاملID : 1088 ! Fixed Field Alternating Gradient Accelerators ( FFAG ) for Fast Hadron Cancer Therapy
Cancer accelerator therapy continues to be ever more prevalent with new facilities being constructed at a rapid rate. Some of these facilities are synchrotrons, but many are cyclotrons and, of these, a number are FFAG cyclotrons. The therapy method of “spot scanning” requires many pulses per second (typically 200 Hz), which can be accomplished with a cyclotron (in contrast with a synchrotron). ...
متن کاملEffects of Defining Realistic Compositions of the Ocular Melanoma on Proton Therapy
Background: Recent studies in eye plaque brachytherapy have shown a considerable difference between the dosimetric results using water phantom and a model of human eye containing realistic materials. In spite of this fact, there is a lack of simulation studies based on such a model in proton therapy literatures. In the presented work, the effect of utilizing an eye model with ocular media on pr...
متن کاملStudies for the PRISM FFAG Ring for the Next Generation Muon to Electron Conversion Experiment
High intensity and high quality muon beams are needed for next generation lepton flavour violation experiments. Such beams can be produced by sending a short proton pulse to a pion production target, capturing the pions and performing RF phase rotation on the resulting muon beam in an FFAG ring. Such a solution was proposed for the PRISM project and this paper summarizes its current status. In ...
