| THPF003 | BEST 70P Cyclotron Factory Test | 3680 |
|
||
| Best Cyclotron Systems Inc (BCSI) designed and manufactured a 70MeV compact cyclotron for radioisotope production and research applications. The cyclotron undergone exhaustive factory testing that has been successfully completed at Best Theratronics facility in Ottawa, Canada. The first 70MeV cyclotron has been build for the INFN-LNL laboratory in Legnaro, Italy. The cyclotron has external negative hydrogen ion source, four radial sectors with two dees in opposite valleys, cryogenic vacuum system and simultaneous beam extraction on opposite lines. The beam intensity is 700μA with variable extraction energy between 35 and 70MeV. We are reporting the factory acceptance testing results confirming the individual cyclotron systems performance and beam acceleration to 1MeV probe. Detail measurements of each system stability and performance have been taken as well as full characterisation of beam acceleration through the injection line and on to the 1MeV probe. The BEST70p cyclotron may also be used as injector to a post-accelerator or for the production of the radioactive beams. | ||

The design characteristics and parameters of a compact cyclotron able to accelerate H− ions up to an energy of 35 MeV and H2+ ions up to an energy of 8 AMeV are presented. This cyclotron is a 4 sector machine and its special feature is the possibility to modify the profiles of the sector hills to allow for the acceleration of the two different species. When equipped with two RF cavities and operated in harmonic mode 4, it accelerates the H− beam, which is extracted by stripping. The resulting proton beam is used for the commercial goal of radioisotope production. On the other hand, when equipped with four RF cavities, also operated in harmonic mode 4, it accelerates a high intensity H2+ beam that is of interest for the IsoDAR* experiment. Here, the presented cyclotron takes on the role of a prototype for the central region design of the final IsoDAR* cyclotron (60 A MeV H2+). By increasing the number of cavities, the energy gain per turn as well as the vertical focusing along the first orbit are increased, thereby optimizing the acceptance. Moreover, to minimize space-charge effects, the injection energy of H2+ is raised to 70 keV compared to the H− injection energy of 40 keV.
