  2. Introduction • Non-Scaling Fixed Field Alternating Gradient(NS-FFAG) acceleratorhas advantages such as fast acceleration, large acceptance, and (for a fixed field accelerator) small beam excursion, flexibility in machine design, operation and variable energy beam extraction • CONFORM (Construction of a Non-scaling FFAG for Oncology, Research andMedicine) aims to develop the Non-scaling FFAG as a versatile accelerator. (Project HP: www.conform.ac.uk) • Two main projects are going on ….. (1) EMMA: Construction of electron machine (prototype for muon accelerator) (2) PAMELA : Design study of NS-FFAG particle therapy facility ( Proton & Carbon ) JAI Advisory Board Meeting

  9. Horizontal tune 50mrad. 3d tracking by T. Yokoi R&D asset from EMMA(2) : Injection& Extraction • Big challenge in injection and extraction in EMMA is to cope with large variety of injection condition (Energy: 10~20MeV, h/cell: 0.15~0.4) Tracking • Multi-kicker system can minimize the injection error 50mrad. 3mm JAI Advisory Board Meeting

  10. PAMELA R&D PAMELA : particle therapy accelerator facility for proton and carbon using NS-FFAG with spot scanning Research items are …. (1) Lattice : Field quality, tolerance, acceleration (2) Magnet : Engineering feasibility etc (3) Extraction (4) Acceleration Scheme (5) Control & Diagnostics (6) Treatment apparatus (ex gantry) (7) Requirement as a treatment facility JAI Advisory Board Meeting

  11. PAMELA R&D : Lattice At present, two different types of lattice are proposed for NS-FFAG of non-relativistic particle Linear lattice (by E.Keil et al.) Small excursion, large tune drift, short drift space, ordinary combined function magnet (2) Non-Linear Lattice (by C. Johnston et al.) * sextupole for chromaticity correction Large excursion, small tune drift, long drift space, wedged combined function magnet † In lattice design study, we are focusing on the understanding of dynamics of proton NS-FFAG : dynamics of slow resonance crossing acceleration, field quality, tolerance etc… JAI Advisory Board Meeting

  13. Typical emittance blow up rate : tolerance :10m() PAMELA R&D : Lattice (Acceleration) • Acceleration rate gives severe constraint for machine design. • Tracking study using ZGOUBI is being carried out : Acceleration rate, tolerance etc d/dE vs d/dE d/dE vs d/dE Lattice and rf specifications are to be fixed JAI Advisory Board Meeting

  14. PAMELA R&D: Magnet - Overview • Pamela • Requires combined function magnets • Gradient: Up to 30 T/m • Dipole field: Up to 2.5T • Challenges • Cannot be done using conventional iron dominated magnets • Superconducting magnets logical choice • Large bore (up to  116 mm) • Magnets are short (150-350 mm) JAI Advisory Board Meeting

  15. PAMELA R&D: Magnet Feasible magnet design was investigated for the case of linear NS-FFAG • Conventional approach (shifted quad) • The magnet does not fit (thick winding :>120mm) • field quality problems dose not satisfy the requirement • New idea: Double-helix concept • Two oppositely tiled solenoids create dipole field • Advantage: no ‘ends’ problem • any multipole field can be created **Fig is for dipole • Wedge shaped coils possible (by H.Witte) JAI Advisory Board Meeting

  16. Bpeak: 6.68 T PAMELA R&D: Magnet (cont.d) • Performance • Integrated Dipole field: 0.932 Tm (0.7 Tm required) • Integrated gradient: 9.7T (8.25 T required) • Temperature margin: 1.6/1.4 • Field homogeneity in beam aperture • About 80x24 mm2 • Integrated field qualities • Gradient: better than 2x10-3 • Dipole: better than 10-4 JAI Advisory Board Meeting (by H.Witte)

  18. Synchrotron & cyclotron SOBP is formed by superposing Bragg peak Integrated current Gate width controls dose time FFAG Step size controls dose Integrated current time PAMELA R&D : Intensity modulation Key issues for spot scanning Dose uniformity should be < ~2% To achieve the uniformity, precise intensity modulation is a must Beam of FFAG is quantized. Good stability of injector and precise loss control are indispensable for medical applications “Analog IM” New approach to medical accelerator control is required in PAMELA JAI Advisory Board Meeting “Digital IM”

  19. Spot scanning in PAMELA • To investigate the requirement of injector, generation of SOBP in IMPT was studied using analytical model of Bragg peak • The study of beam intensity quantization tells intensity modulation of 1/100 is required to achieve the dose uniformity of 2%. (minimum pulse intensity:~106 proton/1Gy)  Monitor is a crucial R&D item of PAMELA if 1kHz operation is achieved, more than 100 voxel/sec can be scanned in PAMELA for the widest SOBP case. By G. Morgan JAI Advisory Board Meeting

  20. Summary • NS-FFAG is a novel accelerator concept and will open up new fields in accelerator science • R&D of NS-FFAG is now undergoing. : CONFORM (1) EMMA (constructing an electron machine) (2) PAMELA(design study of particle therapy facility) • Intensive studies for PAMELA are being carried out in JAI ex Lattice, magnet, facility design etc. • Hopefully, this year is devoted to fixing the machine parameter and next year is for making the overall facility planning and proposal including test machine JAI Advisory Board Meeting

  21. Scaling FFAG realizes stable betatron tune by • non-linear field B/B0=(r/r0)k f() • It requires large excursion combined function magnet p/p0=(r/r0)k+1 • It can accelerate large emittance beam with high repetition rate (ex KEK PoP FFAG:1ms acceleration, 5000 mm·mrad) Radial sector ~1.2m KEK 150MeV FFAG KEK 150MeV FFAG 100Hz extraction Spiral sector What is (Scaling) FFAG ? Acceleration rate of ordinary synchrotron is limited bythe ramping speed of magnet (magnet PS :V=L·dI/dt, eddy loss: rot E+dB/dt=0) Acceleration rate of fixed field accelerator is limited by acceleration scheme (in principle, no limitation) * No tuning knob after construction!! JAI Advisory Board Meeting

  22. In linear lattice… ∆  B  x Acceptance of NS-FFAG : why so large? Acceptance is the region in the phase space in which beam can survive during the whole process of an operation cycle.Acceptance is closely related to the operation process. • The magic in NS-FFAG is “LINEAR LATTICE” • Focusing property has NO amplitude dependence Physical aperture limits the acceptance. (“no dynamic aperture”) Acceleration rate is the key to ensure large acceptance JAI Advisory Board Meeting

  23. x’ As amplitude gets larger, focusing force gets stronger non-linearly. x Large amplitude beam is lost when it hits resonance In scaling FFAG, operation point is the key In scaling FFAG, operation point is the key Large acceptance is realized through field distribution, and transverse dynamics are decoupled to longitudinal dynamics Acceptance of Scaling FFAG In Scaling FFAG, higher order fields inevitably contain JAI Advisory Board Meeting

  24. Fast asynchronous acceleration (In EMMA, Acceleration completes within 10turns(~500ns)) * It is originally for muon accelerator for neutrino factory x’ 10MeV Field error Field error • Fixed frequency rf is available for relativistic particle due to small variation of path length /cell x 20MeV /cell |df/f|~0.1% 20MeV TOF/turn(ns) EMMA is a unique system to observe the transient process of resonance precisely.  Unique playground for non-linear dynamics EMMA is a unique system to observe transient process of resonance precisely.  Unique playground for nonlinear dynamics !! 10MeV Kinetic Energy(MeV) Resonance Crossing Acceleration • Resonance is a coherent effect Fast acceleration can circumvent the problem JAI Advisory Board Meeting

  25. How fast beam should be accelerated in NS-FFAG ? How fast beam should be accelerated in NS-FFAG ? PAMELA R&D: Acceleration Two approaches in NS-FFAG for non-relativistic beam acceleration…… Harmonic number jump (A. Ruggiero) • Fixed frequency RF (high Q rf : high gradient) • Amplitude modulation  Can high Q cavity accommodate amplitude modulation ? (2) Frequency modulation • low Q rf (low gradient) • no need of amplitude modulation (adiabatic capture requires AM)  Can beam be accelerated sufficiently fast? JAI Advisory Board Meeting * Now, preparing for the study
