AN INJECTION/EXTRACTION SCENARIO FOR EMMA

EMMA is an experiment to study beam dynamics in a linear non-scaling fixed-field alternating gradient accelerator (FFAG). It accelerates an electron beam from 10 to 20 MeV kinetic energy. To optimally perform these studies, one must be able to inject the beam at any energy within the machine's energy range. Furthermore, because we wish to study the behavior of large-emittance beams in such a machine, the injection systems must be able to inject the beam anywhere within a transverse phase space ellipse with a normalized acceptance of 3 mm, and the extraction systems must be able to extract from that same ellipse. I describe a computation of kicker and septum fields to achieve all of these requirements, and discuss how this interacts with the hardware constraints.
