Funding: EP/E032869/1 AMELA (Particle Accelerator for MEdicaL Applications) is a newly developed fixed field accelerator, which has capability for rapid beam acceleration, which is interesting for practical applications such as charged particle therapy. PAMELA aims to design a particle therapy facility using Non-Scaling FFAG technology, with a target beam repetition rate of 1kHz, which is far beyond that of conventional synchrotron. To realize the repetition rate, the key component is rf acceleration system. The combination of a high field gradient and a high duty factor is a significant challenge. In this paper, options for the system and the status of their development are presented. |
