Abstract;Fixed field alternating gradient(FFAG) focusing is attractive for acceleration of high intensity hadron beams because acceleration cycle could be increased. The magnetic field of FFAG is static, therefore, the repetition rate of acceleration could be increased more than 10 times larger than that of ordinary rapid cycling synchrotron(RCS) if an efficient high voltage RF accelerating system becomes available. Recently, a new type of high gradient RF cavity(HGC) using high permeability magnetic alloy(MA) has been developed and FFAG synchrotron becomes very promising. In order to clarify the feasibility of rapid cycling FFAG synchrotron experimentally, proof-of-principle(POP) machine, which accelerates protons up to 1MeV with 1kHz repetition, is under development. We have also made several designs on high intensity proton accelerators with FFAG synchrotron for various applications such as spallation neutron source, proton driver for muon collider and accelerator driven system(ADS) for energy breeder.
