  The Sungkyunkwan University has developed the 9 MeV cyclotron for producing radio isotopes. In order to operate the cyclotron stably, all sub-systems in the cyclotron are controlled and monitored consistently. Therefore, each sub-system includes control devices, which is developed based on PLC, or DSP chip and the sub control modules interface with main control system in real time. As main control system, we choose the CompactRIO system from NI (National Instrument) to take into account the latency and robust control. The control system has high-performance processor running real-time OS, so that the system can control the cyclotron fast and exactly. In addition, the system can be remotely accessed over the network to monitor the status of cyclotron easily. The configuration of control system for 9 MeV cyclotron and performance test result will be described in this paper.

Penning Ion Gauge(PIG) have been used in internal source for cyclotron. PIG source for internal source of 9 MeV cyclotron produces H ion. This source consists of cold cathode which discharges electrons for producing H ion and anode for making plasma wall. Cold cathode material tantalum was used for emitting electrons and tungsten copper alloy was used for anode. The size of PIG source is related to size of cyclotron magnet. Optimization of cathode and anode location and sizing were needed for simplifying this source for reducing the size of compact cyclotron. Transportation of electrons and number of secondary electrons has been calculated by CST particle studio. Motion of H2 gas has been calculated by ANSYS. Calculation of PIG source in 9 MeV cyclotron has been performed by using various chimneys with different size of expansion gap between the plasma boundary and the chimney wall. In this paper design process and experiment result is reported.

Compact cyclotron for PET RI production accelerates H ions using electric field. For accelerating ions in cyclotron, RF amplifier is developed to transmit RF power to RF resonating cavity. RF amplifier generates high-power RF signal up to 20 kW with narrow band frequency. The amplifier device was used of triode vacuum tube operated in cathode-driven. Impedance matching systems were composed of bridge-network system. Components of impedance matching system had rigid structure to endure high-power RF signal. Variable inductors of matching components have been used of short-bar movement system for changing reactance of characteristic impedance. The experiment results were measured by VSWR meter and network analyzer.

  1.5 kW RF driver is being designed and manufactured with the resonance frequency of 83.2 MHz. Triode (3CX1500A7) is used for RF power amplification, and ground grid amplifier (G.G. Amp.) type was adopted for this RF driver since the circuit design and realization is simple. Anode, and cathode voltage of RF driver is approximately 3500V, and 5V respectively. In this paper, impedance matching process of RF driver is described. Variable capacitor and variable inductor is utilized to implement the impedance matching for cathode and anode. In addition, RF power output characteristics compared with RF input is shown.

For the past decades, PET (positron emission tomography) has been remarkable growth in market. PET using 18F is widely provided for cancer screening and expected to be installed at small and medium hospital for convenience of patients. At Sungkyunkwan University, 10 MeV H cyclotron, which produces 18F is being developed. In this paper, we demonstrated main magnet design and whole design procedure was explained. The result of design is verified by orbit analysis and single particle tracking. The description of the obtained result is presented in this paper.
