A high field-gradient RF system for a spiral FFAG is described. It is wideband to cover the frequency of 3 to 7.5 MHz. The beam will be accelerated with a high repletion rate of 100 Hz to fit requirements for hadron therapy. The cavity has a wide aperture of 90 cm in horizontal direction to allow a large excursion for beam acceleration. It has less than 40 cm in length to fit a very short straight section.

A hadrontherapy accelerator assembly based on an FFAG ring and a variable energy H- cyclotron injector has been designed in the frame of the RACCAM project. The FFAG ring allows 2.1 Tm top rigidity, corresponding to 180 MeV proton top energy and 21.6 cm penetration depth and to 50 MeV per nucleon for carbon ions suitable for biological R&D). Variable energy extraction, bunch to pixel 3D scanning and multiport beam delivery are proposed in this installation. A prototype of a spiral sector scaling type of FFAG dipole is being built for proving the feasibility of the FFAG ring, subject to a second contribution in the conference. This paper will describe the accelerator assembly parameters and the beam properties.

This paper presents beam dynamics studies regarding the variable energy operation of a spiral scaling FFAG (Fixed Field Alternating Gradient) accelerator designed for producing 70 to 180 MeV protons and acceleration simulations for different operation modes, corresponding to different extraction energies.

High power proton accelerators (HPPAs) with beam powers in the several megawatt range have many applications including drivers for spallation neutron sources, neutrino factories, waste transmuters and tritium production facilities. The UK's commitment to the development of the next generation of HPPAs is demonstrated by a test stand being constructed in collaboration between RAL, Imperial College London, the University of Warwick and the Universidad del Pais Vasco, Bilbao. The aim of the RAL Front End Test Stand is to demonstrate that chopped low energy beams of high quality can be produced and is intended to allow generic experiments exploring a variety of operational conditions. This paper describes the current status of the RAL Front End Test Stand.
