FFAG synchrotron for an accelerator driven system
Description
One of the most important issues in realizing an accelerator driven system (ADS) for energy amplifier is the electrical power efficiency during operation of the accelerator. In order to make the ADS in a realistic manner, the electrical-power efficiency should be at least more than 30%. The requested beam power for ADS would be at least 10 MW, the average beam current should be about 10 mA. Fixed-field alternating gradient (FFAG) synchrotron is proposed for accelerator driven systems of nuclear energy breeding and transmutation of nuclear waste. A preliminary design of 1.5 GeV and 10 MW beam power FFAG synchrotron is presented. The accelerator comprises mainly the magnet and the RF accelerating system. During operation, 80-90% of the total electricity of the accelerator is dissipated for these two systems. (author)
