MOPEA021 | PAMELA Overview and Status | 112 |
|
||
The status of PAMELA (Particle Accelerator for MEdicaL Applications) ' an accelerator for proton and light ion therapy using a non-scaling FFAG (ns-FFAG) accelerator ' is reviewed and discussed. |

TUPE096 | Recent Developments on ALICE (Accelerators and Lasers In Combined Experiments) at Daresbury Laboratory | 2350 |
|
||
Progress made in ALICE (Accelerators and Lasers In Combined Experiments) commissioning and a summary of the latest experimental results are presented in this paper. After an extensive work on beam loading effects in SC RF linac (booster) and linac cavities conditioning, ALICE can now operate in full energy recovery mode at the bunch charge of 40pC, the beam energy of 30MeV and train lengths of up to 100us. This improved operation of the machine resulted in generation of coherently enhanced broadband THz radiation with the energy of several tens of uJ per pulse and in successful demonstration of the Compton Backscattering x-ray source experiment. The next steps in the ALICE scientific programme are commissioning of the IR FEL and start of the research on the first non-scaling FFAG accelerator EMMA. Results from both projects will be also reported. |

WEPE056 | Accelerator and Particle Physics Research for the Next Generation Muon to Electron Conversion Experiment - the PRISM Task Force | 3473 |
|
||
The next generation of lepton flavour violation experiments will use high intensity and high quality muon beams. Such beams can be produced by sending a short proton pulse to the pion production target, capturing pions and performing RF phase rotation on the resulting muon beam in an FFAG ring, which was proposed for the PRISM project. A PRISM task force was created to address the accelerator and detector issues that need to be solved in order to realise the PRISM experiment. The parameters of the initial proton beam required and the PRISM experiment are reviewed. Alternative designs of the PRISM FFAG ring are presented and compared with the reference design. The ring injection/extraction system, matching with the solenoid channel and progress on the ring's main hardware systems like RF and kicker magnet are discussed. The activity on the simulation of a high sensitivity experiment and the impact on physics reach is described. The progress and future directions of the study are presented in this paper. |

THPEC090 | The EMMA Non-scaling FFAG | 4266 |
|
||
The Electron Model for Many Applications (EMMA) will be the World's first non-scaling FFAG and is under construction at the STFC Daresbury Laboratory in the UK. Construction is due for completion in March 2010 and will be followed by commissioning with beam and a detailed experimental programme to study the functioning of this type of accelerator. This paper will give an overview of the motivation for the project and describe the EMMA design and hardware. The first results from commissioning will be presented in a separate paper. |

THPD028 | Preparations for EMMA Commissioning | 4337 |
|
||
The first results from commissioning EMMA - the Electron Model of Many Applications- are summarised in this paper. EMMA is a 10 to 20 MeV electron ring designed to test our understanding of beam dynamics in a relativistic linear non-scaling fixed field alternating gradient accelerator (FFAG). EMMA will be the world's first non-scaling FFAG and the paper will outline the characteristics of the beam injected in to the accelerator as well as summarising the results of the extensive EMMA systems commissioning. The paper will report on the results of simulations of this commissioning and on the progress made with beam commissioning. |
