Description
A fixed-field alternating gradient accelerator has been originally proposed by Ohkawa in 1953. Only electron models were built and no proton accelerating FFAG has been built so far. A proton accelerating FFAG model has been developed at KEK and the beam was successfully accelerated in June of 2000. The FFAG accelerator has large potentials. Among them, short lived particles such as muons can be accelerated with FFAG accelerators. The neutrino factory based on muon accelerator and muon storage ring has been proposed. (author)
