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 completion of an optimised SRF cryomodule for application on ERL accelerators has now culminated with the successful assembly of an integrated cryomodule, following an intensive 5 years of development evolution. The cryomodule, which incorporates 2 x 7-cell 1.3 GHz accelerating structures, 3 separate layers of magnetic shielding, fully adjustable & high power input couplers and fast piezo tuners, has been installed on the ALICE ERL facility at Daresbury Laboratory. It is intended that this will permit operational optimisation for maximised efficiency demonstration, through increased Qext adjustment whilst retaining both effective energy recovery and IR-FEL lasing. The collaborative design processes employed in completing this new cryomodule development are explained, along with the assembly and implementation procedures used to facilitate its successful installation on the ALICE ERL facility.
