Abstract

An FFAG accelerator has advantages for use as a “meson factory”, for the production of intense pion beams. The greatest advantage is the flexibility in duty factor arising from beam stacking. Beams can be brought onto targets with duty factors varying from 10 −6 to unity, for use with different detectors. A conceptual design of an FFAG accelerator has been carried out. It is estimated that this design will accelerate more than 10 15 protons per second to an energy of 720 MeV.
