Description
The Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (FFA) accelerator is a natural candidate for a high-power pulsed proton driver, although no high-power FFA has yet been constructed. As a critical component of the accelerator, the main magnets are the subject of particular study. Operational flexibility, in terms of machine optics, over a large range is an essential feature of such a machine. In order to explore this in more detail a dedicated FFA prototype magnet has been designed and manufactured.
This magnet was manufactured and delivered to Rutherford Laboratory (RAL) in the UK, and field measurements are subsequently planned to establish its characteristics. This talk will discuss the design, manufacture, and measurement plans of the prototype magnet.
