The MAX IV linac will be used both for injection and top up into two storage rings, and as a high brightness injector for a Short Pulse Facility (SPF) and an FEL (in phase 2). We briefly describe the layout, optics and bunch compression / linearization scheme of the linac. We then investigate the robustness of the design to element errors.

EMMA (Electron Machine with Many Applications) is a prototype non-scaling electron FFAG hosted at Daresbury Laboratory. NS-FFAGs related to EMMA have an unprecedented potential for medical accelerators for carbon and proton hadron therapy. They could also be used as the accelerator for a sub-critical reactor. We summarize the design and commissioning of both the injection and extraction lines for this machine. In particular, we look at the commissioning challenges of injection and extraction.

Dispersion-free Regions and Insertions for EMMA

EMMA (Electron Machine with Many Applications) is a prototype non-scaling electron FFAG hosted at Daresbury Laboratory. Several upgrade possibilities for EMMA are explored, from creating a dispersion-free region in the ring to facilitate injection and extraction to making an insertion in EMMA by turning it into a racetrack-style machine. A dispersion-free region may be created in two separate ways. The first is by using a layout of EMMA which is naturally dispersion-free at the start and end of each cell. This means that we can arrange for periodic dispersion-free sections in every cell or in-between cells. The second is achieved through the use of sextupoles, by going off-axis in them, one has essentially a quadrupolar force which can be used to match the dispersion to zero in a particular place and for a particular energy. The benefits and drawbacks of both methods are discussed from the point of view of practicality and space in general, and applicability to EMMA in particular.

When creating an initial model of an accelerator, one usually has to resort to a hard edge model for the quadrupoles and higher order multipoles at the start of the project. Ordinarily, it is not until much later on that one has a field map for the given multipoles. This can be rather inconvenient when one is dealing with particularly thin elements or elements which are rather close together in a beamline as the hard edge model may be inadequate for the level of precision desired. For example, in the EMMA project, the two types of quadrupoles used are so close together that they are usually described by a single field map or via hard edge models. The first method has the desired accuracy but was not available at the start of the project and the second is known to be a rough approximation. In this paper, an analytic expression is derived and presented for fringe fields for a multipole of any order with a view to applying it to cases like EMMA.

The ALICE accelerator, the first energy recovery machine in Europe, has recently demonstrated lasing of an infra-red free electron laser (IR-FEL). The current status of the machine and recent developments are described. These include: lasing of the IR-FEL, a programme of powerful coherent terahertz radiation research, electro-optic diagnostic techniques, development of high precision timing and distribution system, implementation of digital low level RF control. ALICE also serves as an injector for the EMMA non-scaling FFAG machine.

The ‘EMMA’ Non-Scaling Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (NS-FFAG) international project is currently being commissioned at Daresbury Laboratory, UK. This accelerator has been equipped with a number of diagnostic systems to facilitate this. These systems include a novel time-domain-multiplexing BPM system, moveable screen systems, a time-of-flight instrument, Faraday cups, and injection/extraction tomography sections to analyse the single bunch beams. An upgrade still to implement includes the installation of a fast wall current monitor. This paper gives an overview of these systems and shows some data and results that have contributed to the successful demonstration of a serpentine acceleration by this novel accelerator.
