MOPAB27 | Characterisation of the KURRI 150 MeV FFAG and Plans for High Intensity Experiments | 89 |

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. | ||
