The FFAG accelerator is a solution for rapid acceleration of muons because of its large aperture and no need of magnet ramping. Its particle dynamics is, however, peculiar due to high energy gain per turn and large transverse amplitude, which has not been seen in other types of circular accelerators. One variation of FFAG, called non-scaling FFAG, employs quite new scheme, namely, out of bucket acceleration. We studied emittance distortion, coupled motions among 3-D planes, effects of resonance lines, etc., based on a newly developed tracking code. In this paper, we will emphasize new regime of particle dynamics as well as a modeling technique of FFAG.

The non-scaling Fixed-Field Alternating Gradient (FFAG) machines have very strong focusing, large momentum acceptance, and small dispersion and betatron functions. This report is a study of using a compact non-scaling FFAG in combination with the superconducting linac to accelerate the muons. The drift space between two kinds of combined function magnets in the previous non-scaling FFAG is removed. The time of flight in the non-scaling FFAG has a parabolic dependence on momentum. The large energy acceptance of the machine requires matching between the linac and the non-scaling FFAG arcs for both the betatron and dispersion functions over the entire energy range.
