TI - First Order Analytic Approaches to Modelling the Vertical Excursion Fixed Field Alternating Gradient Accelerator J2 - Proc. of IPAC2021, Campinas, SP, Brazil, 24-28 May 2021 CY - Campinas, SP, Brazil T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 12 LA - english AB - Whilst the Vertical Excursion Fixed Field Alternating Gradient Accelerator (VFFA) remains a promising solution to a number of problems at the frontiers of accelerator physics, the optics of this type of machine are still poorly understood. Current designers are forced to rely on brute-force numerical tracking codes, with optimisation dependent on time-consuming parameter scans. With an aim to both improve understanding of this machine, as well as to develop tools for rapid design and optimisation of VFFA lattices, first steps towards an analytic approach based on a linearised Hamiltonian formalism have been developed.
