The good field region of the magnet must extend from 17.4 to 18.9 meters. The field at the injection radius of 17.5 meters must be 0.4891' and and at the extraction radius of 18.75 m must be 1.281T. The magnet gap must allow for the betatron amplitude, field errors and misalignment, poleface windings, vacuum chamber walls, and some contingency. To within a 98% probability, the rms displacement of the equilibrium orbit will times the rms displacement of an individual where p is

The tolerances for rms displacement require a 1-b cm allowance in the gap. The total magnet gap at injection must be 20 cm which allows for 14.3 cm of betatron motion, 1.0 cm for field errors and misalignment, 1.7 cm for pole face windings, 2.0 cm for vacuum walls and 1.0 cm extra space. Tpe gross features of magnet are shown in section A-A of Figure 1. The 20 cm gap extends radially outward for 0.6 m and then tapers to 10.1 cm in another 0.9 m. Pole face windings extend over the inside 0.6 meters. The details of the magnet are given in Table 2. The injection system is shown in Figure 4. There are 4 programed bump magnets and one programed septum magnet. The stripper foil is located between the inside two bump magnets. Initially the foil edge is located at the center of the phase plane acceptance ellipse, and then it moves away during the 500 nsecond injection period. The vertical beam is also modulated during injection so that the total density distribution is as uniform as possible. The energy of linac beam is modulated to give a coasting beam energy spread of k3.2 MeV. This beam is adiabatically captured in a nonucket. At least 32 ma H- beam is accelerating rf per pulse. required for 10 18 protons Acceleration is accomplished with 10 cavities each capable of a peak value of 30 kilovolts. The beam is bunched adiabatically by instantaneously applying an rf voltage of 27 kilovolts and increasing the rf voltage to 150 kV in 250 useconds. After bunching, the rf voltage and frequency are programed to increase the en5rgy as linearly as possible while maintaining Bfy 8 > 0.375. The parameters of the accelerating system are given in Table 3. The rf voltage and frequency through out the cycle are shown in Figure 6. The kinetic energy and sin4, are shown in Figure 7.

The ASPUN conceptual design is by no means a It is, complete and final facility design. however, indicative of the potential of the FFAG An accelerator of this capability will concept. have very exciting possibilities as a driver for a The neutron fluxes from a spallation source. facility built around this concept should exceed by at least an order of magnitude the fluxes that will be possible with the facilities now under construction. The concept will be studied in considerably more detail at Argonne in the next few years. Clearly, beam lojses in this machine must be less than 10s4 or lo- . Preliminary calculations indicate that capture, acceleration, and extraction could achieve this efficiency, but his is an area that will receive considerable attention. Also, magnet design and beam orbit programs will be pursued.
