High Intensity Operation and Control of Beam Losses in a Cyclotron Based Accelerator

555

M. Seidel, J. Grillenberger, A.C. Mezger
PSI, Villigen PSI, Switzerland

This presentation discusses aspects of high intensity operation in PSI's cyclotron based proton accelerator (HIPA). Major beam loss mechanisms and tuning methods to minimize losses are presented. Concept and optimization of low loss beam extraction from a cyclotron are described. Collimators are used to localize beam losses and activation. Activation levels of accelerator components are shown. An overview on instrumentation for loss monitoring and prevention of failure situations is given. Other relevant aspects include the beam trip statistics and grid to beam power conversion efficiency.
