Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (FFAG) accelerators are a promising idea for reducing the cost of acceleration for muon accelerators as well as other machines. This paper presents an automated method for designing these machines to certain specifications, and uses that method to find a minimum cost design. The dependence of this minimum cost on various input parameters to the system is given. The impact of the result on an FFAG design for muon acceleration is discussed.

One of the most important considerations in designing large accelerators is cost. Magnet costs are a significant component of that. This paper describes a model for estimating magnet costs. The reasoning behind the cost model is explained, and the parameters of the model are chosen so as to correctly give the costs for existing magnets.
