Workshop Homepage

The annual International Workshop on Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (FFAG) Accelerators for 2014 will be held at Brookhaven National Laboratory from September 22-26, 2014.

Workshop Sessions:
  • FFAGs in applications: medical treatment, accelerator driven subcritical reactors, ...
  • FFAGs for basic research: nuclear and particle physics, neutron sources, ...
  • Demonstration machines: status, results, and new proposals
  • Beam dynamics and software
  • Accelerator components: magnets, RF cavities, diagnostics, ...
Accommodations have been reserved at our BNL Guest House and domitories, as well as a block of rooms at a nearby hotel.
