Induction synchrotron can accelerate any ion species directly to higher energy without a large pre-accelerator, due to its intrinsic nature that there is no frequency band-width limitation below 1 MHz. KEK digital accelerator (DA) is a small scale prototype of fast cycling induction synchrotron. Recently it has been confirmed that heavy ion beams of mass to charge ratio A/Q = 4 are stably accelerated from 200 keV to a few tens of MeV in this accelerator ring*, where the revolution frequency changes from82 kHz to 1 MHz. Acceleration and beam confinement are separately realized by pulse voltages generated in induction cells (1 to 1 pulse transformers) driven by the switching power supply (SPS)**. Everything is simply maneuvered by controlling of gate signals of solid-state switching elements employed in the SPS. For this purpose, the fully programmed acceleration control system based on the FPGA has been developed. In this paper, the wide-band induction acceleration is presented with experimental results. Further possibilities of beam handling in the induction synchrotron, such as super bunch and novel beam handling techniques, are discussed.
