Due to the discovery of large θ13 the final muon storage energy in the baseline solution of International Design Study for the Neutrino Factory (IDS-NF) has been set at 10 GeV. A new racetrack design has been produced for the decay ring to meet this requirement. The details of lattice design and the beam dynamics calculations are discussed. The feasibility of the injection system for both positive and negative muons into the ring is explored in details.

In a linear non-scaling FFAG the betatron tunes vary over a wide range during acceleration. This naturally leads to resonance crossing including first order integer resonances. The S-POD (Simulator for Particle Orbit Dynamics) plasma trap apparatus at Hiroshima University represents a physically equivalent system to a charged particle beam travelling in a strong focusing accelerator lattice. The S-POD system can be used as an ‘experimental simulation’ to investigate the effects of resonance crossing and its dependence on dipole errors, tune crossing speed and other factors. Recent developments and experiments are discussed.

ISIS is the spallation neutron source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK. Obsolescence and reliability issues are motivating plans to replace the present 70 MeV H minus linac, and this paper presents an overview of a design to allow injection of beam into the present ISIS ring at 180 MeV, which would increase intensity as a result of reduced space charge and optimised injection. The key topics addressed are design of the injection straight, injection painting and dynamics, foil specifications, acceleration dynamics, transverse space charge, instabilities, RF beam loading and activation.
