Injection Study Of 6-Sector Prism-Ffag Using Pulsed Alpha Particles

An experiment is proposed to study a novel technique of union phase rotation for storage rings using pulsed alpha-particle injection from a standard radioactive (241)Am source into an ultra-high field gradient RF cavity of a storage ring. The 6-sector PRISM-FFAG ring is specifically considered. The specifications of the pulser, inflector and electrodes for guiding the (241)Am-source to a sector are described based on simulation studies. The method of RF-particle TOF measurement demonstrates the validity of the proposed method.
