Triton FFA 2-way collider for efficient muon production for muon catalyzed fusion has been designed. Characteristics and expected performance of the ring are presented.
A compact, isochronous fixed-field, gradient ion accelerator, ~1.5 meters in radius, is under design utilizing high-gradient cavities in order to accelerate multi-ion species up to 15-20 MeV/u with large turn-to turn, centimeter-level separation for low-loss extraction without the need for lossy foil stripping. A strong-focusing radial field profile is optimized in a separated-sector format...
Precise neutrino cross section measurements and search for sterile neutrinos can be done with neutrino beams produced from muons decaying in a storage ring due to its precisely known flavour content and spectrum. In the proposed nuSTORM facility pions would be directly injected into a racetrack storage ring, where circulating muon beam would be captured. The storage ring has three options: a...
Rapid cycling synchrotrons are limited in duty cycle from ramped magnetic fields, with 50-60Hz the current or practical technical state of the art. To achieve a higher cycling rate requires fixed magnetic fields. A strong-focusing proton synchrotron with fixed magnetic fields and swept-frequency RF (53 MHz at extraction) has been proposed to replace the present 8 GeV Fermilab Booster...
In this talk I will give an overview of activities in the new Medical Accelerator Physics group particularly in the area of FFA accelerators. Australia is rapidly moving toward realisation of their first proton therapy facilities and a national working group has been convened to plan for a heavy ion (p, He, C, etc) treatment and research facility. Together with CERN and other European partners...
LhARA (Laser hybrid Accelerator for Radiobiological Applications) aims to provide multi-ion beams for in-vitro and in-vivo radiobiological studies to inform the next generation radiotherapy. As the source of ion beams a thin target irradiated by high power laser will be used followed by a capture and transport system based on Gabor Lenses. In the next stage of the project FFA accelerator is...
