In the fixed field alternating gradient (FFAG) synchrotron in Kyoto university research reactor Institute (KURRI), charge exchange injection was adopted since 2011. The charge stripping foil is located on the closed orbit of the injection energy, and no bump orbit system is used. Instead, the injected beam escapes from the stripping foil according to the closed-orbit shift due to acceleration. In this scheme, it is important to minimize the number of foil hitting, which causes emittance growth and foil heating. In this paper, the rf capture is studied by means of simulation.

  High intensity and high quality muon beams are needed for the next generation lepton flavour violation experiments. Such beams can be produced by sending a short proton pulse to a pion production target, capturing the pions and performing RF phase rotation on the resulting muon beam in an FFAG ring. Such a solution was proposed for the PRISM project and this paper summarizes its current status. In particular the PRISM task force was created to address the accelerator and detector issues that need to be solved in order to realise the PRISM experiment. Alternative designs for the PRISM FFAG ring are discussed and their performance compared. The injection/extraction systems and matching to the solenoid channels upstream and downstream of the FFAG ring are presented. The future direction for the study will be outlined.

  Aiming to demonstrate the basic feasibility of the accelerator driven sub-critical reactor (ADSR), proton Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (FFAG) accelerator complex as a neutron production driver has been constructed in Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute (KURRI). In order to upgrade beam power of the FFAG neutron source, a project about a new H linac injector for FFAG main ring instead of present injector has been started. A charge exchange multi-turn beam injection has been performed for the first time at FFAG main ring in KURRI. In this paper, the detail of injection system and beam study of low energy H injection at FFAG is described.

  Recent developments in scaling fixed field alternating gradient (FFAG) accelerators have opened new ways for lattice design, with straight sections, and insertions like dispersion suppressors. An experiment to study straight sections and dispersion suppressors is under progress at KURRI.

  The 150MeV FFAG proton accelerator has been developed at Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute(KURRI) for the fundamental study of Accelerator Driven Sub-crittical Reactor (ADSR). Recently, a new H injector was constructed to improve the beam quality and intensity. The paper will describe the detail of the preset status of FFAG proton accelerator at KURRI.

Medium energy hadron beams are widely applied in accelerator driven subcritical systems (ADSR), high intensity neutron sources and carbon therapy. Compactness feature is important for this energy region, especially in the case of medical use purposes. This paper introduces a novel superferric scheme with scaling fixed-field alternating gradient (FFAG) accelerators, which can deliver 400MeV/u carbon ions or 1.2GeV protons. By using high permeability materials, 5T magnetic field with high field index can be achieved to reduce accelerator circumference significantly. The lattice configuration and design of superferric magnet are described in details.
