TU6PFP030 | 6D Acceleration Studies in Proton Fixed Field Alternating Gradient Accelerator Lattices | 1354 |
|

It has been proposed to use a proton Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (FFAG) accelerator to drive an Accelerator Driven Subcritical Reactor (ADSR) as they have the potential to provide high current beams to energies needed, 500 MeV to 1 GeV. This paper describes the results of 6D simulations of acceleration in possible lattice designs to explore longitudinal acceptance. This is needed to evaluate accelerator duty cycle and options for acceleration such as harmonic number jumping. |

WE5PFP011 | PAMELA: Development of the RF System for a Non-Relativistic Non-Scaling FFAG | 2009 |
|

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. |

TH4GAC03 | PAMELA Overview: Design Goals and Principles | 3142 |
|
||
Funding: EPSRC EP/E032869/1 The PAMELA (Particle Accelerator for MEdicaL Applications) project is to design an accelerator for proton and light ion therapy using non-scaling Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (FFAG) accelerators, as part of the CONFORM project, which is also constructing the EMMA electron model of a non-scaling FFAG at Daresbury. This paper presents an overview of the PAMELA design, and a discussion of the design goals and the principles used to arrive at a preliminary specification of the accelerator. |
