	I.N. Meshkov JINR, Dubna, Moscow Region, Russia
	Status of the project of Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility NICA/MPD (MultiPurpose Detector) under development at JINR (Dubna) is presented. The general goals of the project are providing of colliding beams for experimental studies of both hot and dense strongly interacting baryonic matter and search for the mixed phase and critical endpoint. Spin physics experimental studies in collisions of polarized protons (deuterons) are planned as the second stage of the project. The first program requires providing of heavy ion collisions in the energy range of squrt(s) = 4-11 GeV at average luminosity of L = 10²⁷ cm^-2 s⁻¹ for Au⁷⁹⁺. The polarized beams mode is proposed to be used in energy range of squart(s) = 12-27 GeV (protons) at luminosity of 10³⁰ cm^-2 s⁻¹. The key issue of the project is application of both stochastic and electron cooling methods at the NICA collider. The latter will be used in the NICA Booster for preliminary formation of the ion beam. The report contains description of the facility scheme and characteristics in heavy ion operation mode, the discussion of luminosity life time limitations, status and plans of the project development.

It is also supported by GCOE project at Kyoto University, "The next generation of Physics-Spun from Universality and Emergence". With the use of S-LSR, an ion storage and cooler ring at ICR, Kyoto University, approach to attain the low temperature beam has been continued in these several years. Based on the realization of one dimensional ordered state of 7 MeV proton beam by an electron cooling, effort to reach lower temperature by laser cooling with much stronger cooling force, has been continued for 40 keV Mg ion beam. With the use of synchro-betatron resonance coupling(SBRC), longitudinal cooling effect can be well expected to be transferred to the transverse directions* and we have experimentally demonstrated of such effect**. The transverse cooling efficiency is, however, not so good deteriorated by intra-beam scattering (IBS) effect for the beam intensities higher than 10⁷. Although the reduction of the beam intensity keeping enough S/N ratio for observation of the beam, is not so easy, we are now challenging "controlled scraping", which controls the horizontal scraper position according to the extent of the indirect horizontal laser cooling by SBRC. In the present paper, our research stream from electron cooling to multi-dimensional laser cooling is surveyed at first and then challenge toward the crystalline beam is to be presented. : T.

TUCCH01	New Ideas for Crystal Collimation	scattering, collimation, extraction, simulation	79
	V.V. Tikhomirov, A.I. Sytov Belarussian State University, Scientific Research Institute of Nuclear Problems, Minsk, Belarus
	Beam halo represents considerable threat for superconducting magnets. Crystals can increase the efficiency of collimation system being used both in channeling and volume reflection modes. We suggest to facilitate both these approaches using, respectively, the crystal cut method* to increase channeling capture efficiency and multiple volume reflection from different planes of one bent crystal(,) to increase the volume reflection angle. Efficiency of these methods drastically depends on the halo particle transverse distribution. The first approach is most efficient at smallest transverse diffusion rate while the second one in the opposite case. We also demonstrate that the miscut, i.e. the nonparallelity of lateral crystal surface and atomic planes, can considerably affect the collimation efficiency at present crystal collimation SPS experiments while will not be so important in the real LHC environment.

FRACH04	Acceleration Technique Developed at JINR for Hadron Therapy	ion, electron, cyclotron, extraction	194
	E. Syresin JINR, Dubna, Moscow Region, Russia
	The JINR activities are aimed on the construction of accelerators for proton and carbon ion therapy. JINR-IBA have developed and constructed the proton cyclotron C235-V3. The cyclotron will be delivered in the first Russian hospital center of the proton therapy in Dimitrovgrad in 2012. The project of the medical carbon synchrotron was developed in JINR. The project goal is accumulation of the superconducting Nuclotron technology at construction of the carbon synchrotron. Accelerated 12C ion beams are effectively used for cancer treatment. The PET is the most effective way of tumor diagnostics. The intensive radioactive 11C ion beam could allow both these advantages to be combined. JINR-NIRS collaboration develops formation of a primary radioactive ion beam at intensity on the tumor target of 10⁸ pps for the scanning radiation. A superconducting cyclotron C400 has been designed by the IBA-JINR collaboration. This cyclotron will be used for radiotherapy with proton, helium and carbon ions. Its construction was started in 2010 within the framework of the Archarde project (France). The interaction between delta electrons and DNA molecules is one of the important processes in the hadron therapy. The formation of low energy electrons and DNA ions are presented for the KEK electrostatic storage ring with the electron target developed by JINR-NIRS collaboration.

	Funding: We acknowledge the partial support through the project GK No. 11.519.11.2030 Systems of relativistic particle beam steering based on the use of channeling effect are widely applied in leading research centers of Russia and foreign countries. An operative control is required in the case of using crystal deflectors for the accelerator beam collimation. The control should allow concluding about the state and alignment of the crystal collimator relative to the beam halo. The method of state and alignment monitoring for the crystal deflectors of relativistic ions using coherent X-rays generated by particles in crystals is suggested in this report.

	The Dimitrovgrad project, the first Russian hospital center of the proton therapy, was approved in 2010. The JINR-IBA collaboration developed and constructed the C235-V3 proton cyclotron for this center. The assembly and the beam tests of the machine were done in 2011-2012 in special experimental hall in JINR. 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. Tests with accelerated and extracted beam were performed in August 2012 in JINR. Beam vertical motion in the cyclotron is in the acceptable limits (ΔZbeam≤3 mm). Transmission from r=300mm to 10³⁰ is 72% without beam cutting diaphragms. This allows reduce irradiation dose of the machine elements in comparison with serial C235. Extraction efficiency is 62%. Total efficiency of the machine is 45%. Recommendations are formulated to modify the magnetic system and reduce sensitivity of the machine to the magnetic field imperfections. Most of changes concerned with the increasing of the vertical focusing at the final radii.

	Funding: Ministry of Education and Science of Russian Federation (grant 16.518.11.7038) At the BINP, a pilot epithermal neutron source is now in use. It is based on a compact Vacuum Insulation Tandem Accelerator and uses neutron generation from the reaction 7Li(p,n)7Be. Generation of neutrons was established and in vitro experiments were held. Most recent investigations on the facility are related with: i) studying the dark currents and breakdowns, ii) analyzing and suppressing the high intensity dark currents, iii) measuring the intensity and the spectra of the X-ray radiation, iv) optimization of the H-beam injection into the accelerator, v) placing and calibrating the new gas stripping target. The results of these studies are discussed in the present work. Investigations resulted in increasing of mean current of the proton beam in stable mode (from 0.1 – 0.7 to 1.5 - 2 mA). In the nearest future new experiments are planned, including in vitro tests, blistering investigation, spectrum and flux measuring for neutrons and gamma, calculating the dose absorbed by phantom. Different ways of providing additional stability to the accelerator, of increasing the current of the proton beam are discussed in this work, as well as the ways of creating the therapeutic beam and strategies of applying the facility for clinical use.

	It is well known presently that radionuclides produced with cyclotrons have very good nuclear-physical characteristics for use in medicine and a set of these nuclides is much wider than produced with the reactors. At PNPI a high current cyclotron C-80 with the energy of extracted proton beam of 40-80 MeV and the current up to 200 mkA is under construction. It is planned to start its operation at the end of 2012. One of the main goals of C-80 is production of a wide spectrum of medical radio- nuclides for diagnostics and therapy. At present time a project is worked out for the construction of radioisotope complex RIC-80 (Radio Isotopes at the cyclotron C-80) at the beam of C-80. In the presented submission the project of RIC-80 complex is discussed, which includes four target stations for the production of a wide set of radionuclides for medicine. The peculiarity of the proposed radioisotope facility is the use of the mass-separator with the target-ion source device as one of the target stations for on-line, or semi on-line production of a high purity separated radioisotopes. The possibility of production of different medical radionuclides, including relatively short-lived ones, is discussed as well.

	Compact laser-driven accelerators are an attractive alternative for monoenergetic proton and ion generation in conventional RF accelerator because the particle acceleration electric fields can reach tens GV/cm, which allows reduction of the system size. The scheme for generating quasimonoenergetic proton with Radiation Pressure Acceleration (RPA) has the potential of leading to table-top accelerators as sources for producing 50-250 MeV protons. Theoretical and computational studies of ion energy scaling of RPA are presented. 2D and 3D PIC simulations are performed to study limitations of energy gain due to Rayleigh-Taylor instability and how is the Rayleigh-Taylor instability suppressed by density fluctuations or inhomogeneities of targets. Energy transfer efficiencies and qualities of accelerated proton beams are discussed. Absolute dose, distal, penumbra of protons accelerated by PRA in a water phantom is calculated by Geant4 Monte Carlo simulations for particle therapy applications.

MOPPA031	Residual Activity in Heavy-Ion Accelerators as Beam-Loss Limiting Factor	ion, target, heavy-ion, accumulation	302
	V. Chetvertkova IAP, Frankfurt am Main, Germany V. Chetvertkova, E. Mustafin, I. Strašík GSI, Darmstadt, Germany
	Residual activity is the main beam-loss limiting factor in high-energy proton accelerators. In order to ensure 'hands-on' maintenance the losses of proton beam should be kept below 1 W/m. It has been shown in our previous publications that the beam-loss criteria for heavy-ion machines may be established by rescaling the '1 W/m criterion' for different heavy ions. For protons the scaling factor is obviously 1. Scaling factors for other ions depend on the charge-mass number of the ion and on the beam energy. For example, for U ions with energy E = 200 MeV/u the scaling factor is 60, i.e. 60 W/m losses of U beam are tolerable from the 'hands-on' maintenance point of view, whereas for U ions with E=1 GeV/u the scaling factor is just 5. In the present paper we show that this scaling factor concept has natural limits of applicability. In the case of very low beam energies or in the case of estimates of long-term accumulated residual activity the tolerable beam-loss criteria cannot be obtained by simple rescaling '1 W/m criterion' with one single number.

TUPPB036	Study of Proton Injector Beam Transverse Phase Space Variations During Accelerating Voltage Pulse	ion, linac, emittance, high-voltage	397

	The proton injector of INR RAS linac provides a pulsed beam with the following parameters: current – up to 100-120 mA; duration – 200 mks; pulse repetition rate – 50 Hz; energy of ions – 400 keV. The results of numerical calculations and experimental study of beam phase space variations during injector high voltage pulse are presented. It is shown that these variations are caused by instabilities of both beam current and accelerating tube intermediate electrode potential. Instability of beam current has been minimized by using of noiseless mode of operation for the pulsed duoplasmatron and by stabilization of ion source discharge current. The high voltage pulse stability is now better than ±0.1%. High frequency oscillations at high voltage pulse plateau have been diminished by both decreasing of high voltage pulse generator artificial line characteristic impedance and filtration of high frequency component of the diode-capacitor stabilizer rack current. The beam transverse normalized emittance for 90% of beam current has been measured to be of 0.08 pi cm*mrad. Variations of the emittance during the high voltage pulse are in limits of ±4% value.

	Classical cyclotron U-150 located in the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Tashkent, was developed more than 50 years ago in Efremov’s institute for acceleration various particles (p, d, He). For magnetic field re-tuning the current coils are used. Nowadays U-150 is used to accelerate only protons to energy of 15-22 MeV for producing isotopes for medical or industrial applications. In order to save the electrical energy and operating simplification it is proposed to create a decreasing average magnetic field in cyclotron only by means of ferromagnetic parts. To create a negative gradient of the magnetic field steel parts are made and installed in the magnet. Analysis of measurement results showed the possibility of production of the required isotopes in updated U-150 with power economy of about 15%. Experimental irradiation of the target showed that the created field gradient did not provide an achievement of the required proton energy at radius of 64-65 cm. To achieve required energy one correction coil is kept in operation and measured magnetic field showed a satisfactory result. For estimation of possibility of creating the required magnetic field gradient without correction by coils the simulation of the cyclotron magnetic system were done and the results of calculations and its analysis are presented in this paper.

	D. Sysoev RRCRST, Pesochniy, Russia
	Radionuclide fluoride-18 is produced by 18O(p,n)18F nuclear reaction in irradiating H2[18O] enriched water. The former fluoride-18 target system to this cyclotron, supplied by the cyclotron producer, The Efremov Institute, possesses insufficient productivity, not greater than 1 Ci of fluorine during 2 hour irradiation and also it doesn't allow achieving high radiochemical yields in producing radiopharmaceuticals due to contamination of irradiated water with metallic impurities from target body. To provide the radiopharmaceutical department of Russian Research Center for Radiology and Surgical Technologies with required amount of fluoride-18 radionuclide, the new target system has been designed and tested. This target system allows obtaining 5 Ci of fluoride-18 at beam current of 50 mkA during 2 hour irradiation and ensures minimum amount of metal contaminations and, hence, higher radiochemical yield (up to 90% decay corrected, F18-FDG).

	Faraday Cups have been used as diagnostic tools to measure the charged particle beam current directly. Up to now, different designs have been introduced for this purpose. In this work a new design of Faraday Cup for ES-200 accelerator, a proton electrostatic accelerator which is installed at Shahid Beheshti University, has been performed. FC's dimensions and desirable material were considered Based on the ES-200 beam characteristics (maximum energy of 200 keV and maximum current of 500 mkA). Thickness and dimensions of FC has been calculated by SRIM code according to the range of proton and induced electrons. MCNPX Monte Carlo code was used in order to simulate the angular dispersion and flux of back scattered and secondary electrons that are produced in collision of energetic protons. The Appropriate FC geometry specifications have been calculated by using MCNPX code. Final Simulation and validation of the FC performance has been done by using CST Studio package. In addition, the heat power generated due to proton collision with FC has been calculated analytically and the required cooling system has been designed by ANSYS. Results showed that the new designed Faraday Cup has a good performance to measure the proton beam produced by ES-200 ion accelerator.

Status of the project of Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility NICA/MPD (MultiPurpose Detector) under development at JINR (Dubna) is presented. The general goals of the project are providing of colliding beams for experimental studies of both hot and dense strongly interacting baryonic matter and search for the mixed phase and critical endpoint. Spin physics experimental studies in collisions of polarized protons (deuterons) are planned as the second stage of the project. The first program requires providing of heavy ion collisions in the energy range of squrt(s) = 4-11 GeV at average luminosity of L = 10²⁷ cm^-2 s⁻¹ for Au⁷⁹⁺. The polarized beams mode is proposed to be used in energy range of squart(s) = 12-27 GeV (protons) at luminosity of 10³⁰ cm^-2 s⁻¹. The key issue of the project is application of both stochastic and electron cooling methods at the NICA collider. The latter will be used in the NICA Booster for preliminary formation of the ion beam. The report contains description of the facility scheme and characteristics in heavy ion operation mode, the discussion of luminosity life time limitations, status and plans of the project development.

With the use of S-LSR, an ion storage and cooler ring at ICR, Kyoto University, approach to attain the low temperature beam has been continued in these several years. Based on the realization of one dimensional ordered state of 7 MeV proton beam by an electron cooling*, effort to reach lower temperature by laser cooling with much stronger cooling force, has been continued for 40 keV Mg ion beam. With the use of synchro-betatron resonance coupling(SBRC), longitudinal cooling effect can be well expected to be transferred to the transverse directions** and we have experimentally demonstrated of such effect***. The transverse cooling efficiency is, however, not so good deteriorated by intra-beam scattering (IBS) effect for the beam intensities higher than 10⁷. Although the reduction of the beam intensity keeping enough S/N ratio for observation of the beam, is not so easy, we are now challenging "controlled scraping", which controls the horizontal scraper position according to the extent of the indirect horizontal laser cooling by SBRC. In the present paper, our research stream from electron cooling to multi-dimensional laser cooling is surveyed at first and then challenge toward the crystalline beam is to be presented.

Beam halo represents considerable threat for superconducting magnets. Crystals can increase the efficiency of collimation system being used both in channeling and volume reflection modes. We suggest to facilitate both these approaches using, respectively, the crystal cut method* to increase channeling capture efficiency and multiple volume reflection from different planes of one bent crystal(**,***) to increase the volume reflection angle. Efficiency of these methods drastically depends on the halo particle transverse distribution. The first approach is most efficient at smallest transverse diffusion rate while the second one in the opposite case. We also demonstrate that the miscut, i.e. the nonparallelity of lateral crystal surface and atomic planes, can considerably affect the collimation efficiency at present crystal collimation SPS experiments while will not be so important in the real LHC environment.

The JINR activities are aimed on the construction of accelerators for proton and carbon ion therapy. JINR-IBA have developed and constructed the proton cyclotron C235-V3. The cyclotron will be delivered in the first Russian hospital center of the proton therapy in Dimitrovgrad in 2012. The project of the medical carbon synchrotron was developed in JINR. The project goal is accumulation of the superconducting Nuclotron technology at construction of the carbon synchrotron. Accelerated 12C ion beams are effectively used for cancer treatment. The PET is the most effective way of tumor diagnostics. The intensive radioactive 11C ion beam could allow both these advantages to be combined. JINR-NIRS collaboration develops formation of a primary radioactive ion beam at intensity on the tumor target of 10⁸ pps for the scanning radiation. A superconducting cyclotron C400 has been designed by the IBA-JINR collaboration. This cyclotron will be used for radiotherapy with proton, helium and carbon ions. Its construction was started in 2010 within the framework of the Archarde project (France). The interaction between delta electrons and DNA molecules is one of the important processes in the hadron therapy. The formation of low energy electrons and DNA ions are presented for the KEK electrostatic storage ring with the electron target developed by JINR-NIRS collaboration.

The Dimitrovgrad project, the first Russian hospital center of the proton therapy, was approved in 2010. The JINR-IBA collaboration developed and constructed the C235-V3 proton cyclotron for this center. The assembly and the beam tests of the machine were done in 2011-2012 in special experimental hall in JINR. 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. Tests with accelerated and extracted beam were performed in August 2012 in JINR. Beam vertical motion in the cyclotron is in the acceptable limits (ΔZbeam≤3 mm). Transmission from r=300mm to 10³⁰ is 72% without beam cutting diaphragms. This allows reduce irradiation dose of the machine elements in comparison with serial C235. Extraction efficiency is 62%. Total efficiency of the machine is 45%. Recommendations are formulated to modify the magnetic system and reduce sensitivity of the machine to the magnetic field imperfections. Most of changes concerned with the increasing of the vertical focusing at the final radii.

At the BINP, a pilot epithermal neutron source is now in use. It is based on a compact Vacuum Insulation Tandem Accelerator and uses neutron generation from the reaction 7Li(p,n)7Be. Generation of neutrons was established and in vitro experiments were held. Most recent investigations on the facility are related with: i) studying the dark currents and breakdowns, ii) analyzing and suppressing the high intensity dark currents, iii) measuring the intensity and the spectra of the X-ray radiation, iv) optimization of the H-beam injection into the accelerator, v) placing and calibrating the new gas stripping target. The results of these studies are discussed in the present work. Investigations resulted in increasing of mean current of the proton beam in stable mode (from 0.1 – 0.7 to 1.5 - 2 mA). In the nearest future new experiments are planned, including in vitro tests, blistering investigation, spectrum and flux measuring for neutrons and gamma, calculating the dose absorbed by phantom. Different ways of providing additional stability to the accelerator, of increasing the current of the proton beam are discussed in this work, as well as the ways of creating the therapeutic beam and strategies of applying the facility for clinical use.

At present time a project is worked out for the construction of radioisotope complex RIC-80 (Radio Isotopes at the cyclotron C-80) at the beam of C-80. In the presented submission the project of RIC-80 complex is discussed, which includes four target stations for the production of a wide set of radionuclides for medicine. The peculiarity of the proposed radioisotope facility is the use of the mass-separator with the target-ion source device as one of the target stations for on-line, or semi on-line production of a high purity separated radioisotopes. The possibility of production of different medical radionuclides, including relatively short-lived ones, is discussed as well.

Compact laser-driven accelerators are an attractive alternative for monoenergetic proton and ion generation in conventional RF accelerator because the particle acceleration electric fields can reach tens GV/cm, which allows reduction of the system size. The scheme for generating quasimonoenergetic proton with Radiation Pressure Acceleration (RPA) has the potential of leading to table-top accelerators as sources for producing 50-250 MeV protons. Theoretical and computational studies of ion energy scaling of RPA are presented. 2D and 3D PIC simulations are performed to study limitations of energy gain due to Rayleigh-Taylor instability and how is the Rayleigh-Taylor instability suppressed by density fluctuations or inhomogeneities of targets. Energy transfer efficiencies and qualities of accelerated proton beams are discussed. Absolute dose, distal, penumbra of protons accelerated by PRA in a water phantom is calculated by Geant4 Monte Carlo simulations for particle therapy applications.

Residual activity is the main beam-loss limiting factor in high-energy proton accelerators. In order to ensure 'hands-on' maintenance the losses of proton beam should be kept below 1 W/m. It has been shown in our previous publications that the beam-loss criteria for heavy-ion machines may be established by rescaling the '1 W/m criterion' for different heavy ions. For protons the scaling factor is obviously 1. Scaling factors for other ions depend on the charge-mass number of the ion and on the beam energy. For example, for U ions with energy E = 200 MeV/u the scaling factor is 60, i.e. 60 W/m losses of U beam are tolerable from the 'hands-on' maintenance point of view, whereas for U ions with E=1 GeV/u the scaling factor is just 5. In the present paper we show that this scaling factor concept has natural limits of applicability. In the case of very low beam energies or in the case of estimates of long-term accumulated residual activity the tolerable beam-loss criteria cannot be obtained by simple rescaling '1 W/m criterion' with one single number.

The proton injector of INR RAS linac provides a pulsed beam with the following parameters: current – up to 100-120 mA; duration – 200 mks; pulse repetition rate – 50 Hz; energy of ions – 400 keV. The results of numerical calculations and experimental study of beam phase space variations during injector high voltage pulse are presented. It is shown that these variations are caused by instabilities of both beam current and accelerating tube intermediate electrode potential. Instability of beam current has been minimized by using of noiseless mode of operation for the pulsed duoplasmatron and by stabilization of ion source discharge current. The high voltage pulse stability is now better than ±0.1%. High frequency oscillations at high voltage pulse plateau have been diminished by both decreasing of high voltage pulse generator artificial line characteristic impedance and filtration of high frequency component of the diode-capacitor stabilizer rack current. The beam transverse normalized emittance for 90% of beam current has been measured to be of 0.08 pi cm*mrad. Variations of the emittance during the high voltage pulse are in limits of ±4% value.

Classical cyclotron U-150 located in the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Tashkent, was developed more than 50 years ago in Efremov’s institute for acceleration various particles (p, d, He). For magnetic field re-tuning the current coils are used. Nowadays U-150 is used to accelerate only protons to energy of 15-22 MeV for producing isotopes for medical or industrial applications. In order to save the electrical energy and operating simplification it is proposed to create a decreasing average magnetic field in cyclotron only by means of ferromagnetic parts. To create a negative gradient of the magnetic field steel parts are made and installed in the magnet. Analysis of measurement results showed the possibility of production of the required isotopes in updated U-150 with power economy of about 15%. Experimental irradiation of the target showed that the created field gradient did not provide an achievement of the required proton energy at radius of 64-65 cm. To achieve required energy one correction coil is kept in operation and measured magnetic field showed a satisfactory result. For estimation of possibility of creating the required magnetic field gradient without correction by coils the simulation of the cyclotron magnetic system were done and the results of calculations and its analysis are presented in this paper.

Radionuclide fluoride-18 is produced by 18O(p,n)18F nuclear reaction in irradiating H2[18O] enriched water. The former fluoride-18 target system to this cyclotron, supplied by the cyclotron producer, The Efremov Institute, possesses insufficient productivity, not greater than 1 Ci of fluorine during 2 hour irradiation and also it doesn't allow achieving high radiochemical yields in producing radiopharmaceuticals due to contamination of irradiated water with metallic impurities from target body. To provide the radiopharmaceutical department of Russian Research Center for Radiology and Surgical Technologies with required amount of fluoride-18 radionuclide, the new target system has been designed and tested. This target system allows obtaining 5 Ci of fluoride-18 at beam current of 50 mkA during 2 hour irradiation and ensures minimum amount of metal contaminations and, hence, higher radiochemical yield (up to 90% decay corrected, F18-FDG).

Emittance measurements at the exit of INR linac are of importance for proper beam matching with the beam line of the downstream experimental facility. Emittance ellipses are reconstructed from beam profile data obtained with three wire scanners and one ionization beam cross section monitor (BCSM). A possibility of quadrupole gradients adjustment not only increases the reconstruction accuracy but also enables to find emittances with BCSM data only. The latter provides completely transparent measurements and due to large BCSM range can be done within a wide range of beam currents. The results of measurements done with wire scanners and BCSM are presented and compared, the reconstruction procedure features are discussed.

Faraday Cups have been used as diagnostic tools to measure the charged particle beam current directly. Up to now, different designs have been introduced for this purpose. In this work a new design of Faraday Cup for ES-200 accelerator, a proton electrostatic accelerator which is installed at Shahid Beheshti University, has been performed. FC's dimensions and desirable material were considered Based on the ES-200 beam characteristics (maximum energy of 200 keV and maximum current of 500 mkA). Thickness and dimensions of FC has been calculated by SRIM code according to the range of proton and induced electrons. MCNPX Monte Carlo code was used in order to simulate the angular dispersion and flux of back scattered and secondary electrons that are produced in collision of energetic protons. The Appropriate FC geometry specifications have been calculated by using MCNPX code. Final Simulation and validation of the FC performance has been done by using CST Studio package. In addition, the heat power generated due to proton collision with FC has been calculated analytically and the required cooling system has been designed by ANSYS. Results showed that the new designed Faraday Cup has a good performance to measure the proton beam produced by ES-200 ion accelerator.
