Neutron source for BNCTFFAG-ERIT scheme
Requirements from BNCT(Boron Neutron Capture Therapy): In order to remedy the tumor of 10cm2, 2*1013 neutrons are needed.If we assume that remedy time is 30 minutes => Flux cm2 sec.
Accelerator as a neutron source ; Energy is low, but beam current is very large (I > 40mA [CW])
ERIT : Emittance-Energy Recovering Internal Target
The stored beam is irradiated to the internal target, it generates the neutron in the storage ring. The beam energy lost in the target is recovered by re-acceleration.
Technically hard and expensive
Feature of ERIT schemeBeam current reduced by storage the beam in the ring.
Overview of FFAG-ERIT accelerator system
Emittance growth in storage ring
• Using an internal target in the ring, the beam emittance can be increased in 3-D directions by multiple scattering and straggling. In this reason, the storage ring require to large acceptance.
• In ERIT scheme, however, the beam emittance growth can be cured by Ionization Cooling effect.

Discussion
• From simulation results, the most cause of beam loss is heating of the vertical direction.
• It is difficult to achieve strong focusing the vertical direction in the spiral type lattice.
In this reason, radial sector type suitable for ERIT?

Surviving turn number
Mean surviving turn num. 810 turns
RMS emittance and energy spread
An analytical solution and the simulation results are corresponding well while beam loss is few.
Vertical beta function - dependent
y = 0.83[m] : y = 2.22, Mean surviving turn num. 810 turny = 0.75[m] : y = 2.32, Mean surviving turn num. 910 turn
Summary• It is important to suppress overheating of the vertical direct
ion to increase the surviving turn number.
• Radial sector is more suitable than the spiral sector type for controlling the heating of the vertical direction.
• The surviving turn number exceeded 900 turns for radial sector type by controlling the tune.
• It might have to care for the longitudinal and horizontal direction trying increase the number of turns any further.
