Ffag Lattice for Muon Acceleration with Distributed Rf*
نویسندگان
چکیده
A future muon collider or neutrino factory requires fast acceleration to minimize muon decay. We have previously described an FFAG ring that accelerated muons from 10 to 20 GeV in energy. The ring achieved its large momentum acceptance using a low-emittance lattice with a small dispersion. In this paper, we present an update on that ring. We have used design tools that more accurately represent the ring’s behavior at large momentum offsets. We have also improved the dynamic aperture from the earlier design.

Recent Progress on FFAGS for Rapid Acceleration
Muon acceleration is one of the more difficult stages to develop for a Neutrino Factory or Muon Collider. The large transverse and longitudinal admittances which must be designed into the system and the rapidity with which acceleration must take place because of muon decay preclude the use of conventional synchrotron design. The approach here employs fixed-field architectures for muon accelerat...
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 کاملInjection/extraction System of the Muon Ffag for the Neutrino Factory
Nonscaling FFAG is required for the muon acceleration in the Neutrino Factory, the baseline for which is under investigation in the International Design Study (IDS-NF). In order to inject/extract the muon beam with a very large emittance, several strong kickers with a very large aperture are required distributed in many lattice cells. Once sufficient orbit separation is obtained by the kickers,...
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...
متن کاملMuon Acceleration – RLA and FFAG
Various acceleration schemes for muons are presented. The overall goal of the acceleration systems: large acceptance acceleration to 25 GeV and „beam shaping‟ can be accomplished by various fixed field accelerators at different stages. They involve three superconducting linacs: a single pass linear Pre-accelerator followed by a pair of multi-pass Recirculating Linear Accelerators (RLA) and fina...
