Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 8, 050101 (2005) [10 pages]Design of a nonscaling fixed field alternating gradient accelerator
We present a design of nonscaling fixed field alternating gradient accelerators (FFAG) minimizing the dispersion action function H. The design is considered both analytically and via computer modeling. We present the basic principles of a nonscaling FFAG lattice and discuss optimization strategies so that one can accelerate over a broad range of momentum with reasonable apertures. Acceleration schemes for muons are discussed. This article is available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License.
