The TRIUMF 50 MeV electron linac has the potential to drive cw beams of up to 0.5 MW to the ARIEL photo-fission facility for rare isotope science. Due to the cooling requirements, the use of a thick Bremsstrahlung target for electron to... more
Many non-scaling FFAG accelerator designs involve magnetic fields that cannot be described in popular accelerator design codes, and complex beam dynamics that require extremely accurate simulations. A recent design of a 1 GeV isochronous... more
The production of very high power proton drivers in the 10 MW range is a considerable challenge to the accelerator community. Non-scaling FFAGs have gained interest in this field, as they may be able to provide smaller, cheaper... more
In a fixed-field alternating-gradient (FFAG) accelerator, eliminating pulsed magnet operation permits rapid acceleration to synchrotron energies, but with a much higher beam-pulse repetition rate. Conceived in the 1950s, FFAGs are... more

Due to the combination of fixed magnetic field operation with strong focusing, non-scaling FFAGs have a significant potential for future particle accelerator applications. However, this technology has a number of unique features, which... more
