Proposal for a New Ring Accelerator

An intermediate energy particle accelerator complex is being designed for the next project of RCNP. This accelerator complex covers a wide energy range above the RCNP cyclotron beams and accelerates ions from proton through uranium with high intensity and good beam quality. Protons of 550 MeV are available for the Meson Factory. The main accelerator is divided into two separated-sector ring cyclotrons to keep away from the νz=1 resonance. An ordinary AVF cyclotron and a Wideroe type variable frequency linac will be used for light ion and heavy ion injection respectively.
