Spot scanning photon proton PAMELA:Particle Acceleratorfor MEdicaL Applications • Advantage of particle therapy : good dose concentration and better biological effectiveness • Advantage of FFAG : (1) Higher intensity (compared to ordinary synchrotron ) (2) Flexible machine operation ( compared to cyclotron ) (3) Simultaneous(multi-port) beam extraction PAMELA : design study of particle therapy facility for proton and carbon using NS-FFAG ( prototype of slow accelerating NS-FFAG Many applications!!! Ex. ADSR ) Difficulty is resonance crossing in slow acceleration
SOBP is formed by superposing Bragg peak If 1kHz operation is achieved, more than 100 voxel/sec can be scanned even for the widest SOBP case. 1 kHz repetition is a present goal (For proton machine : 200kV/turn) PAMELA:Clinical requirements Dose uniformity should be < ~2% To achieve the uniformity, precise intensity modulation is a must IMPT (Intensity Modulated Particle Therapy) Synchrotron & cyclotron Gate width controls dose Beam of FFAG is quantized. At the moment, instead of modulating the intensity of injected beam, shooting a voxel with multiple bunches is to be employed. Integrated current time “Analog IM” FFAG Integrated current Step size controls dose time “Digital IM” PAMELA meets muon science !!

Linear NS-FFAG (200kV/turn, average B0;n,, w/o ∆B1,x=100m)
~2m PAMELA : Lattice Challenges: Tune stabilized NS-FFAG lattice Integer resonance crossing must be circumvented. Tune-stabilization by introducing higher order multipole field is required One option : Non-Linear NS-FFAG (simplified scaling FFAG) : B=B0 (R/R0)k B=B0 [1+k∆R/R0+k(k-1)/2 (∆R /R0 )2 ····] * Eliminating higher order multipoles Long straight section (~2m) Small tune drift ( <1) Short beam excursion(<20cm) Limited multipoles (Up to decapole) by S.

Energy Option 1 1ms Option 1: P Nrep2 Option 2: P Nrep PAMELA: Beam Acceleration Repetition rate: 1kHz min. acceleration rate : 50kV/turn (=250Hz) How to bridge two requirements ?? Option 2 Energy time time 1ms Low Q cavity (ex MA) can mix wide range of frequencies Multi-bunch acceleration is preferable from the viewpoint of efficiency and upgradeability
Multi-bunch acceleration Multi-bunch acceleration has already been demonstrated ∆f 4 fsy 2-bunch acceleration using POP-FFAG : Mori et al. (PAC 01 proceedings p.588) In the lattice considered, typical synchrotron tune <0.01 more than 20 bunches can be accelerated simultaneously (6D Tracking study is required) “Hardware-wise, how many frequencies can be superposed ??”
Extraction (5.5MHz) 50kV Injection(2.3MHz) 50kV Test of multi-bunch acceleration PRISM RF • PRISM rf can provide 200kV/cavity • It covers similar frequency region • Brf-wise, MA can superpose more than 20 bunches Now, experiment using PRISM cavity is under planning ( in this October)
Applications for ADS Accelerator Driven System • ADS will be used for ADSR, nucl. transmutation. • ADS will employ high power low energy proton accelerator as proton driver (<1GeV, >1mA) • FFAG, cyclotron, LINAC are the candidates • Key issues are cost and reliability (how to realize redundancy ?) • From the view point of redundancy, FFAG is a competitive candidate. Proton driver for ADS is one of main applications for PAMELA type FFAG. EADF parameters
Bkicker ∆x ~ aperture Multi-turn extraction in NS-FFAG Why? • Circulating bunch = extracted bunch Low bunch intensity for spot scanning • For energy variable extraction, extraction system is required to be moves mechanically due to the radial orbit shift especially for HI ring (problems: response time, reliability) • Number of bunch accelerated simultaneously is limited by kicker aperture. ( For the kicker aperture of 2cm, minimum orbit separation is ~4cm. ) charge exchange injection is preferable from this point of view • ( Life time of kicker ? : ex 106 msec = 1000 sec = 17min ) • For the application of ADSR, pulsed beam structure might not be preferable from the viewpoint of ADS core damage
H Resonance point v ∆v<0.5 Multi-Turn Extraction in NS-FFAG (cnt’d) ~2% of F/D ratio can change the vertical tune more than 0.5 In a lattice with vertical tune drift, by changing the F/D ratio, resonance energy can be varied Half integer resonance can be used for the extraction : “ Energy variable multi-turn extraction in fixed field accelerator” ”With present design strategy, is it possible to develop a lattice with vertical tune drift of less than 0.5? ” If it is realized, it will solve almost all the problems in PAMELA

Summary • PAMELA is in a position of prototype machine of NS-FFAG for non-relativistic particle • It has wide range of application like medical machine and proton driver for ADS. • Intensive study is going on (dynamics, rf, magnet, clinical requirement etc.) • Lattice requirements is now getting clear. • For acceleration, multi-bunch acceleration provides efficient and upgradeable option but still needs investigation. By the end of next year , hope an doable overall scenario is proposed .
