Abstract
An accelerator system includes a plurality of cells. Each cell includes a focus magnet and a defocus magnet each configured to create a magnetic field so as to confine and accelerate a particle beam, the focus magnet being configured to focus the particle beam in a horizontal direction and defocus the particle beam in a vertical direction, and the defocus magnet being configured to focus the particle beam in a vertical direction and defocus the particle beam in a horizontal direction. Each of the plurality of cells is configured to confine the particle beam in an isochronous orbit during acceleration. The accelerator system is a non-scaling fixed field alternating gradient particle accelerator (FFAG).
