  The development of a 16 MeV H cyclotron is in progress at CIM company (Hefei, China). Such machine is designed for radio-isotope production which is used for nuclear medicine. Beam extraction is ensured by means of stripper foils located at different radii to achieve variable extraction energy between 10 and 16 MeV. In this paper, the main magnet design was demonstrated in detail. An AVF magnet with four radial sectors was adopt to get strong axial focusing. The hill angular widths and hill gaps with radius were designed to meet the isochronous magnetic field. The tunes were optimized to avoid dangerous resonance. The result of magnet design was verified by beam dynamics simulations. After the presentation of the magnet design, some results on stripping extraction were also discussed. TOSCA (OPERA-3D) was used to perform 3D magnetic field simulation. An efficient beam simulation code developed by MATLAB was used to do beam dynamics simulations.

  As a core component of proton therapy equipment, the gantry can project the proton beam onto a tumor from different angles. The weight of the gantry with normal conducting magnets(mainly normal dipole magnets and quadrupole magnets) is usually more than 150 tons, which puts forward high requirements for the design, processing and fabrication. Thus, for the realization of light-weight gantry, this article puts forward a design of Canted-Cosine-Theta(CCT) superconducting magnet used on superconducting gantry. Since the superconducting CCT magnet can produce higher magnetic field, for the proton beam with the same magnetic stiffness, the deflection radius of the magnet can be significantly reduced, thus reducing the radius and volume of the gantry. The finite element analysis software and Biot-Savart principle were adopted in this article to establish the method of magnetic field calculation for CCT superconducting magnet, and MATLAB was used to simulation and validation of particle path, which finally realize the design of CCT superconducting magnet that is applied in gantry.

  A compact isochronous cyclotron, CIMV16, is under research and development at Hefei CAS Ion Medical and Technical Devices Co., Ltd, China (HFCIM).This cyclotron can accelerate negative hydrogen ion to variable energy in the range of 10~16 MeV for the stable production of widely-used medical isotopes in this energy range. It has a maximal diameter of only 1.8 m and adopts three radial-sector poles with the third harmonic acceleration. The design of magnet system and the analysis of final simulated static magnetic field were described in detail in this paper. Meanwhile, two suitable shimming methods were also proposed for later engineering optimization
