Muon collider complex is one of the places where the concept of fixed field alternating gradient (FFA) optics can be applied with great benefits. Vertical excursion FFA (vFFA) provides the isochronous condition for the ultra-relativistic muon beams after pre-acceleration. Together with the fixed transverse tune, it will be an ideal accelerator of short-lived muon beams with no time variation of magnetic fields and RF frequency. Novel collider ring optics is a design based on skew quadrupole after extracting essential functions from vFFA. That enables control of the momentum compaction factor. Neutrinos from the continuing decay of muons are spread out with orbit wiggling in the vertical direction as well as horizontal. The paper discusses the underline principle and describes some design examples.

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.
