The experiment DAEδALUS*, proposed by MIT scientist to search for CP violation in the neutrino sector, needs three accelerator with energy of about 800 MeV, average power of some MW and duty cycle of 20%. To reduce the cost of the accelerators a cyclotron complex consisting of an injector** and of a booster ring cyclotron has been proposed***. The booster Superconducting Ring Cyclotron is able to accelerate a H2+ molecule beam up to 800 MeV/n with a peak current of 10 mA and average power higher than 1.6 MW. To simplify the design of the superconducting magnetic coils, to minimize the radial force shift and to increase the room to host the RF cavities, the previous study has been updated increasing the injection energy of the H2+ and also the injection energy. The updated study on the magnetic sector configuration, on the superconducting coils and the magnetic forces are presented. The isochronous magnetic field, the beam dynamics along the injection and extraction path and during the acceleration are presented, too.

The experiment DAEδALUS*, recently proposed by MIT scientist to search for CP violation in the neutrino sector, needs three accelerator with energy of about 800 MeV, average power of some MW and duty cycle of 20%. To reduce the cost of the accelerators a cyclotron complex consisting of an injector and of a booster ring cyclotron has been proposed**. The main characteristics of the new kind of separated sector cyclotron injector able to accelerate a H2+ molecule beam up to 60 MeV/n will be presented. Due to the low duty cycle, the peak current to be accelerated is 5 mA. The problem related to the injection of a H2+ beam, delivered by a compact ion source, and to the space charge effects will be discussed. To allow an easier injection in the booster Superconducting Ring Cyclotron the extraction energy has been increased up to 60 MeV/n. The pole gap was decreased to 60 mm to achieve a more efficient beam extraction. The updated configuration of the magnetic sectors, of the isochronous magnetic field and beam dynamics along extraction path and during the acceleration will be presented, too.

  SPES (Selective Production of Exotic Species) is an INFN project with the aim to develop a Radioactive Ion Beam (RIB) facility as an intermediate step toward EURISOL. The SPES Project is under realization at the INFN Legnaro National Laboratories site. The SPES Project main goal is to provide a production and accelerator system of exotic beams to perform forefront research in nuclear physics by studying nuclei far from stability. The SPES Project is concentrating on the production of neutron-rich radioactive nuclei with mass in the range 80-160. The final energy of the radioactive beams on target will range from few MeV/u up to 11 MeV/u for A=130. The SPES acceleration system will be presented, together with the facility realization status.

  A megawatt class isochronous cyclotron is a potential candidate for accelerator driven systems, as in the subcritical-fission molten-salt reactor application. A scheme for a 800 MeV/nucleon cyclotron accelerating molecular H2+ has been derived from on-going proton driver design studies for neutrino beam production. The present paper reports on beam dynamics studies regarding that cyclotron, exploiting its superconducting coil magnetic sector OPERA field map. These studies are aimed at assessing lattice properties as accelerated orbit, phase oscillations, tunes, beam envelopes and other resonance effects.
