Although the development of FFAs had not been pursued for over a decade starting from 1967, itinterest has regainedbeen interestrevived since the mid-1980s for usage in [[neutron]] [[spallation]] sources, as a driver for [[muon]] colliders <ref name=briefhistory /> and to accelerate muons in a [[Neutrino Factory|neutrino factory]] since the mid-1990s.

The revival in FFA research has been particularly strong in Japan with the construction of several rings. This resurgence has been prompted in part by advances in [[Radio frequency|RF]] cavities and in magnet design.<ref name=mori2004>{{Cite journal
