  In AVF cyclotrons the median plane of the magnetic field rather often does not coincide with the mid-plane of their magnetic system. To measure the radial component of the magnetic field, equipment based on search coils is developed and used to correct the median plane of the magnetic field. The equipment for Br mapping is described. The Br mapping and shimming results are presented for two proton therapy IBA C230 cyclotrons.

  JINR-IBA C235-V3 isochronous cyclotron for 1st Russian hospital center of the proton therapy has been assembled and tested. Shimming of the magnetic field, optimization of the acceleration modes and testing with the extracted proton beam were done in frame of this work. The paper presents experimental results of the beam dynamics in the accelerator. Proton transmission from radius 30cm to 103cm is 72% without beam cutting diaphragms. The extraction efficiency is 62%. This cyclotron is a substantially modified version C235-V3 of the IBA C235 serial cyclotron. C235-V3 has the improved extraction system which was constructed and tested. This system allows raise the extraction efficiency up to 77% from 50% in comparison with serial C235. Special mapping system (for Br-component) of the magnetic field was developed and constructed by JINR for the shimming of the Br-field in the middle plane of the cyclotron. Total efficiency of the machine is 45%. Further improvement of the parameters expected after final tuning of the cyclotron in Dimitrovgrad.

  Simulations concern to a beam axial motion in the IBA cyclotron C230 that is a base facility in several medical centers worldwide. Because of small axial focusing of the beam in a center of the cyclotron the radial component of magnetic field imperfections leads to additional proton losses. Measured maps of the axial and radial components of magnetic field were used in the simulations. It was found that the radial component with value 5-10 G in the center and approximately 2 G in the main region of acceleration leads to decrease of the resulting beam intensity by about two times and to increase the beam axial width by 25% as well. Simulations define the requirements to the experimental radial component shaping for the next cyclotrons of this series. Providing these requirements will ensure an absence of the additional proton losses due to the axial motion perturbations.
