Description

The Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (FFA) accelerator is a natural candidate for a high-power pulsed proton driver, although no high-power FFA has yet been constructed. As a critical component of the accelerator, the main magnets have been the subject of particular study. Operational flexibility, in terms of machine optics, over a large range is an essential feature of such a machine. In order to explore this in more detail a dedicated FFA prototype magnet has been designed and manufactured.
This magnet was manufactured and delivered to the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) in the UK in April 2025, and field measurements were subsequently conducted to establish its characteristics. This paper will discuss the design, manufacture, and measurement of the prototype magnet.
