A Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (FFAG) ring will be used as a phase rotator in the PRISM project. We report a design of the PRISM-FFAG in this paper. PRISM stands for "Phase Rotated Intense Slow Muon beam". It is a project to realize a super muon beam, which combines high-intensity, low-energy, narrow energy-spread and high purity. Its aimed intensity is about 1011-1012 muons per sec. The muon beam will be provided with a low kinetic energy of 20MeV to optimize for the stopped muon experiments. FFAG has some advantageous characteristics to achieve such superb beam. These are a large momentum (longitudinal) acceptance, a wide transverse acceptance with strong focusing, and synchrotron oscillation, which is needed to perform phase rotation. According to simulations, initial energy spread of 20MeV±40% is reduced down to ±6% after 5 turns of muons in the FFAG ring. In the FFAG ring almost all pions decay into muon, hence extracted beam has extremely low pion contamination. A program to construct the PRISM-FFAG ring has been started. It would be completed by the end of JFY 2005.

In order to realize a super muon beam that combines high-intensity, low-energy, narrow energy-spread and high purity, the PRISM project has been proposed. In this project, a FFAG ring is used as a phase rotator. In this paper, a method of designing the PRISM-FFAG lattice will be described. The PRISM-FFAG has to have both of large transverse acceptance and large momentum acceptance to achieve high intensity. Furthermore, long straight sections to install RF cavities are required to obtain a high surviving ratio of the muon. Therefore, the PRISM-FFAG requires its magnets to have large aperture and small opening angle. In such magnets, not only nonlinear effects but also magnetic fringing field are important to study the beam dynamics of FFAGs. Although using realistic 3D magnetic field maps made with programs such as TOSCA is the best solution to study the FFAG dynamics, it takes long time to make such field maps. On a design process of the PRISM-FFAG, quasi-realistic 3D magnetic field maps, which are calculated applying spline interpolation to POISSON 2D field, were used to study the beam dynamics. A program based on GEANT3.21 was used for particle tracking.

Main Ring (MR) of the Japanese Particle Accelerator Research Complex (JPARC) should provide acceleration of the high-intensity proton beam from the energy of 3GeV to 50 GeV. The expected beam intensity is 3.3·1014 ppp and the repetition rate is about 0.3 Hz. The imaginary transition lattice of the ring was adopted, which has the natural linear chromaticity about (-30) for both transverse phase planes. The expected momentum spread of the captured particles before the acceleration is less than 0.007. Two independent families of the chromatic sextupole magnets are use to eliminate the linear chromatic tune shift. This chromatic sextupole field nonlinearity will excite the normal 'octupole' resonances and will lead to the amplitude dependent tune shifts in both transverse phase planes. Additional sextupole magnets are planed to excite the third-order horizontal resonance, which will be used for the slow extraction. Incoherent tune shift of the low-energy proton beam is about (-0.16) so that some particles could cross nearest low-order resonances. Optimization of the 'bare' working point of MR at the injection energy has been performed to minimize the influence of the linear coupling and high-order coupling resonances. Excitation of the linear coupling resonance has been introduced by the realistic misalignment errors adopted for MR. The 'bare' working point during the slow extraction has been analyzed. The influence of the normal sextupole resonances on the large amplitude particle behavior at the scraper location has been studied including random sextupole field component of the MR bending magnets. Realistic distortion of the ideal ring super-periodicity by the injection kicker magnets has been included in the tracking procedure for the on- and off-momentum particles. Finally, correction schemes have been considered for most dangerous resonances around the optimized 'bare' working point. The space-charge effects of the proton beam have not been included in this study.

A study of "resonance crossing" in FFAG accelerator is described in this paper. A deviation of FFAG guiding field in actual magnet breaks zero chromaticity condition, and tunes cross resonance while acceleration. In order to avoid a critical beam loss or emittance growth, nominal tune should be chosen so as not to cross low-order resonances. However, crossing higher order resonance can be critical and that depends on the parameters such as crossing speed, excitation magnitude and initial beam emittance. We will present analytical model and simulation study in various parameter space.

A 150MeV proton FFAG (Fixed Field Alternating Gradient) synchrotron has been constructed to be a prototype for various applications such as proton beam therapy. At the moment, all the components are assembled, and multi-turn injection and beam storage were successfully performed. We are in the phase of beam acceleration up to final energy and expect the beam extraction in a few months. In this paper, beam commissioning results such as multi-turn injection, orbit correction, tune survey and optimization of RF gymnastics will be presented.

KART (Kumatori Accelerator driven Reactor Test) project has started at Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute (KURRI) from the fiscal year of 2002. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the basic feasibility of ADS, studying the effect of incident neutron energy on the effective multiplication factor of the subcritical nuclear fuel system. We are now constructing a proton FFAG accelerator complex as a neutron production driver for this project. Our accelerator complex consists of a 2.5 MeV FFAG betatron as an injector and 20 MeV and 150 MeV FFAG synchrotrons as a booster and a main ring, respectively. Our FFAG betatron is a spiral sector type. Both booster and main rings are radial sector type FFAG synchrotrons, but different in the production of required magnetic field with a certain magnetic field index. The distribution of magnetic field is determined by the shaped pole-face in the main ring while the magnetic field is realized by use of trim coils in the booster ring. This FFAG complex will be combined with our Kyoto University Critical Assembly (KUCA) in KURRI by the end of March 2006 and the experiments will begin as soon as the whole system is ready.
