In the International Design Study for the Neutrino Factory (IDS-NF) a racetrack design has been adopted for the decay ring*. The injection system into the decay ring is described. The feasibility of injecting both positive and negative muons into the ring is explored from the point of view of injection timing. Considerations for the design of a decay ring for a 10 GeV neutrino factory are included.

The International Design Study of the Neutrino Factory is working towards delivering the optimized design of the neutrino factory facility to be presented in the Reference Design Report (RDR) in 2013. In the current baseline design a linear non-scaling fixed field alternating gradient accelerator (FFAG) was chosen as an efficient solution for the final muon acceleration. We describe updates to the design since our previous report*. We report on beam dynamics studies on the lattice. We describe recent work on the engineering for the lattice, and the results of a recent first pass at a cost estimate for the machine. Finally, we describe how an FFAG may be applicable to a lower energy neutrino factory in light of recent experimental results regarding the value of the theta(13) neutrino mixing angle**.

The International Design Study for the Neutrino Factory will produce a reference design report in 2013 that will contain a detailed performance analysis of the Neutrino Factory and a cost estimate. In order to determine the cost a number of engineering features need to be included in the accelerator physics design, which can require the physics design to be re-optimized. The cost estimate is determined in such a way as to make efficient use of the engineering resources available and to simplify the process of modifying the physics design to include engineering features. This paper will present details of the methodology used to determine the cost estimate and the current status of each subsystem.

A European proposal is under preparation for the Compton gamma-ray Source of ELI-NP. In the Romanian pillar of ELI (the European Extreme Light Infrastructure) an advanced gamma-ray beam is foreseen, coupled to two 10 PW laser systems. The photons will be generated by Compton back-scattering in the collision between a high quality electron beam and a high power laser. A European collaboration formed by INFN, Univ. of Roma La Sapienza, Orsay-LAL of IN2P3, Univ. de Paris Sud XI and ASTeC at Daresbury, is preparing a TDR exploring the feasibility of a machine expected to achieve the Gamma-ray beam specifications: energy tunable between 1 and 20 MeV, narrow bandwidth (0.3%) and high spectral density, 10⁴ photons/sec/eV. We will describe the lay-out of the 720 MeV RF Linac and the collision laser with the associated optical cavity, as well as the optimized beam dynamics to achieve maximum phase space density at the collision, taking into account beam loading and beam break-up due to the acceleration of long bunch trains. The predicted gamma-ray spectra will be evaluated as the gamma photons collimators background. An option for electron bunches recirculation will also be illustrated.

Recent UK government funding has facilitated the implementation of a unique accelerator test facility which can provide enabling infrastructures targeted for the development and testing of novel and compact accelerator technologies, specifically through partnership with industry and aimed at addressing applications for medicine, health, security, energy and industrial processing. The infrastructure provision on the Daresbury Science and Innovation Campus (DSIC) will permit research into areas of accelerator technologies which have the potential to revolutionise the cost, compactness and efficiency of such systems. The main element of the infrastructure will be a high performance and flexible electron beam injector facility, feeding customised state-of-the-art testing enclosures and associated support infrastructure. The facility operating parameters and implementation status will be described, along with primary areas of commercialised technology development opportunities.
