Abstract: A compact FFAG accelerator for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) has been designed.Firstly, a linear simpli ed magnet model has been applied to calculate the basic parameters of FFAG accelerator; Then the WINAGILE program is used to design and optimize the lattice, as well as to obtain the critical parameters such as the Beta functions, the dispersion functions, the envelopes and the tunes; Also, the MAD program is used to check the design scheme; Finally, the ZGOUBI program is used to simulate the particles movement in the nonlinear magnetic eld. The super period of the FFAG accelerator is 6. The energy is 11 MeV and the eld index k is 1.9. The structure is compact with the circumference of 11.179 5 m. The results show that this optimized design has achieved the proposal object.
