The Hamiltonian governing the dynamics in a Linear Paul Trap (LPT) is identical in form to that of a beam in a focusing channel. This similarity, together with the LPT’s flexibility, compactness and low cost make it a useful tool for the study of a wide range of accelerator physics topics. Existing work has focused on high intensity collective effects as well as, more recently, the study of integer resonance crossing in the low intensity regime. A natural extension of this work is to investigate space charge effects of intense beams in more realistic lattices to directly inform accelerator design and development. For this purpose we propose to construct a modified Paul Trap specifically for these studies. Among other features, it is envisaged that this new LPT should be able to model non-linear elements and a wider range of lattice configurations. This work will be undertaken in collaboration with Hiroshimi University.

Fixed field alternating gradient (FFAG) accelerators hold a lot of promise for high power operation due to their high repetition rate and strong focusing optics. However, to date these machines have not been operated with high intensity beams. Since November 2013 an experimental collaboration has been underway to characterise the 150 MeV proton FFAG at KURRI, Japan. Here we report on the results of characterisation experiments and discuss plans for further experiments in the high intensity regime.
