Description
As an alternative to the use of a Superconducting Linac, we
have explored at Brookhaven National Laboratory a
complex made of a pair of Non-Scaling FFAGs for the
acceleration of Ions of Uranium-238 for the production of
Radio-Isotopes and esotic nuclear fragments. The beam power
requirement is 400 kWatt at an energy of 400 MeV/
u. The design of the FFAG accelerators is straightfoward and
seems considerably less expensive than the full length
of a Superconducting Linac. The major issue is the
intensity, emittance and repetition rate of the ion source
required. Operation ar 1 kHz, 10kHz and continuous mode are
described.
