	The next generation of lepton flavor violation experiments requires high intensity and high quality muon beams. Such conditions can be met using phase rotation of short muon pulses in an FFAG ring, as was proposed for the PRISM project. The very large initial momentum spread and transverse emittance of the muon beam poses a significant challenge for the injection system into the PRISM FFAG. Also, the matching optics between the solenoidal transfer channel and the ring needs to create a specific orbit excursion in the horizontal plane, suppress any vertical dispersion and produce good betatron conditions in both planes. Candidate geometries for the matching and injection systems are presented and their performances are tested in tracking studies.

	The PRISM Task Force continues to study high intensity and high quality muon beams needed for next generation lepton flavor violation experiments. In the PRISM case such beams have been proposed to be produced by sending a short proton pulse to a pion production target, capturing the pions and performing RF phase rotation on the resulting muon beam in an FFAG ring. This paper summarizes the current status of the PRISM design obtained by the Task Force. In particular various designs for the PRISM FFAG ring are discussed and their performance compared to the baseline one, the injection/extraction systems and matching to the solenoid channels upstream and downstream of the FFAG ring are presented. The feasibility of the construction of the PRISM system is discussed.

	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.

TUPPD008	Recent Progress Toward a Muon Recirculating Linear Accelerator	1422

	Both Neutrino Factories (NF) and Muon Colliders (MC) require very rapid acceleration due to the short lifetime of muons. After a capture and bunching section, a linac raises the energy to about 900 MeV, and is followed by one or more Recirculating Linear Accelerators (RLA), possibly followed by a Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) or Fixed-Field Alternating Gradient (FFAG) ring. A RLA reuses the expensive RF linac section for a number of passes at the price of having to deal with different energies within the same linac. Various techniques including pulsed focusing quadrupoles, beta frequency beating, and multipass arcs have been investigated via simulations to improve the performance and reduce the cost of such RLAs.

Possible applications include a linac upgrade for the ISIS spallation neutron source, new future neutron sources, accelerator driven sub-critical systems, a neutrino factory etc. Designed to deliver a 60mA H-minus beam at 3MeV with a 10% duty factor, FETS consists of a high brightness ion source, magnetic low energy beam transport (LEBT), 4-vane 324MHz radio frequency quadrupole, medium energy beam transport (MEBT) containing a high speed beam chopper plus comprehensive diagnostics. This paper describes the current status of the project and future plans.
