Status of accelerator performance

First goal of accelerator developmentBeam energy: 100MeV

Rapid cycling: 100Hz

Beam current: 1nA

Status, Dec. 2005 Beam energy of100MeV has been achieved. 100Hz operation was successful. Beam current is more than 0.2nA@20Hz operation.

Basic accelerator R&D studies (design, construction, beam injection, acceleration and extraction) has been completed.

Summary

Many improvements since FFAG’04, KEK

Basic accelerator R&D studies has been completed.

First goal will be achieved soon.

Near future plan

Test experiments using the extracted beam

For medical application,

For ADS.
