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.

Magnets with gradient field (indexed magnets) usually have different gap distances with the different entrance positions. This situation will break a uniformity of the effective length. Trim coils, which are usually used in Cyclotron, are not practical to modify a field distribution when a large gradient is required such as FFAG. In order to generate a gradient field in a constant gapped magnet, a novel method with use of inter-pole is devised. This magnet has not only constant gap but also smaller fringing field compared with a conventional one. This technique should widen the recipe to design a magnet with such a complex magnetic field.
