  3. Previous Studies • AGS-based Facility for RIP following FAIR (T. Roser, Februray 2006) • too complicate RCS • needed accumulator ring(s) and e-cooling A.G. Ruggiero “AGS-less RIA with FFAG Accelerators”, BNL Internal Report, C-A/AP 238, May 2006 • Abstract • We have studied the use of Non-Scaling Fixed-Field Alternating-Gradient (FFAG) accelerators for the acceleration of heavy ions to produce radioisotopes and exotic nuclear fragments. We have taken as reference a beam of nuclei of Uranium 238 partially stripped to +28 charge state. • A.G. Ruggiero, T. Roser, D. Trbjevic, “A Non-Scaling FFAG for Rare Isotopes Production”, Proceedings of EPAC, Edinburgh, Scotland TUPLS027 • Abstract • This is a report to demonstrate the use of Non-Scaling Fixed-Field Alternating-Gradient (FFAG) accelerators [1] in acceleration of partially stripped ions of Uranium-238 for Rare Isotopes Production. The following example assumes a beam final energy of 500 MeV/u with an average beam output current of 1 µA-particle and a beam average power of 120 kWatt. • P.N. Ostroumov, Phys. Rev. Spec.

  11. Constant-RF Voltage Profile (805 MHz) • Using these RF Voltage Profiles it is possible to operate in CW mode provided that the Ion Source delivers continuously 4.2 µA-particles. • Ratio of Initial to Final Harmonic Number = f / i = 4.04 FFAG-1 FFAG-2 FFAG 2007 -- Alessandro G. Ruggiero

  13. Harmonic Number Jump (HNJ) • The variation of h with  can be calculated precisely on a computer, but here we use a linear approximation ( a very good one indeed!) • En+1 = E0n2n3h / (1 – pn2) hn h = hn+1 – hn • = (Q/A) eVn sin RF •  • hn is local value between cavity crossings • h is harmonic number jump between cavity crossings = –1 • pn2 << 1 • By integration • Max. energy gain per crossing Emax = Efff2h M c / fRF Ctot • Number of Crossings nf = fRF Ctot (1 – i / f) / Mi c h • Acceleration Period tf = fRF Ctot2 (1 – i2 / f2) / 2 M2i2 c2h • Vn = g n TTF (0 / n) Cavity gap g = RF0 / 2 Physical Review ST A&B 9, 100101 (2006) FFAG 2007 -- Alessandro G. Ruggiero

  14. Consequences of Harmonic-Number Jump • To avoid beam losses, the number of bunches ought to be less than the harmonic number at all time. On the other end, because of the change of the revolution period, the number of RF buckets will vary. There is a difference between the case of acceleration below and above transition energy. Below transition energy the beam extension at injection ought to be shorter than the revolution period. That is, the number of injected bunches cannot be larger than the RF harmonic number at extraction. The situation is different when the beam is injected above the transition energy. In this case the revolution period decreases and the harmonic number increases during acceleration. • Below Transition Above Transition hf / hi = f / i FFAG 2007 -- Alessandro G. Ruggiero
