Summary
Argonne has been in the process of developing plans for pulsed spallation neutron source facilities that would extend the flux levels by at least an order or magnitude over fluxes provided by facilities that are either now in operation or in construction. The ANL facility is called ASPUN for Argonne Super Intense Pulsed Spallation Neutron Source. The heart of ASPUN is a Fixed-Field Alternating Gradient (FFAG) proton synchrotron which, in our opinion, has great potential as a driver for a spallation neutron source. The FFAG synchrotron was extensively studied in the 1950's and early 1960's at the Midwestern Universities Research Association (MURA) laboratories in Stoughton, Wisconsin. An FFAG accelerator has dc excited magnetic fields into which beam is injected on the inside radius and as the beam is accelerated, the average equilibrium orbit radius grows. Frequency modulated rf cavities are used to accelerate the beam with a voltage and frequency program that tracks the beam energy. The conceptual design of the FFAG synchrotron is given. (WHK)
