CIAE has proposed an innovative design for a 2 GeV/6 MW isochronous FFA in 2019. This study aims to present the results of beam dynamics research, demonstrating the feasibility to accelerate the intense proton beam with the energy beyond 1 GeV limitation of isochronous cyclotrons. By introducing 1st - 3rd radial gradient of peak magnetic field to simulate the quadrupole to octupole component of the isochronous machine, three different lattice designs are obtained. Adjusting the radial gradient of the peak field allows an option to avoid or cross integer resonances. Various inherent and coupled resonances are investigated subsequently, with a focus on the destructive effects of the Vr=3 on the transverse phase space. Based on PIC method, we simulate the vortex motion caused by space charge in a large-scale alternating gradient field. Results indicated that the radial size of beam is ~ 10 mm, which is expected to be improved after considering the effects of neighboring bunches. Additionally, high-Q RF cavities and precession extraction further enlarge the turn separation to 30 mm, ensuring efficient beam extraction in the extraction region.

Proton beam with an average current of 10mA has many important applications in particle physics towards the intensity frontier, as well as in the advanced energy and material science. At present, superconducting linac is the mainstream of high current accelerator. As cyclotron has advantages of continuous beam structure, high beam/grid efficiency(60%~65% can be expected in superconducting ring cyclotron) and lower cost, cyclotron is also a potential candidate for future accelerator scheme with beam current of 10mA-class. Firstly, we will discuss the application prospect and motivation of 10mA-class high power cyclotron(10mA-HPC). Secondly, the key physics problems of 10mA-HPC are summarized, which includes strong space charge problems in low energy region, integer resonance crossing problems in high energy region and beam losses problems in extraction region. Thirdly, possible solutions for key physics problems and preliminary design of 10mA-HPC are proposed.

  Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a cancer treatment modality based on the nuclear capture and fission reactions. An 18 MeV, 1 mA proton cyclotron is under design at China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) for BNCT. An external multi-cusp ion source is used to provide the negative hydrogen beam. The beam is injected into the cyclotron by an electrostatic inflector and extracted by a carbon foil. The physical design of the injection and extraction of this cyclotron will be presented in this paper. The problems of vertical focusing in central region and envelope control of the extracted beam will be discussed.

TUPB015 Research on First Harmonic Shimming Method of Cyclotron Based on Least Norm Square Solution 114

  The magnetic field measurement of cyclotron and the shimming of isochronous magnetic field are one of the important links in cyclotron. Due to the influence of factors such as processing errors, installation errors, and inhomogeneity of the magnetic properties of mag-net materials, the main magnetic field of the cyclotron will usually deviate from the required isochronous magnetic field and contain a certain amplitude of the first harmonic magnetic field. The existence of the first harmonic magnetic field will rapidly increase the transverse oscillation amplitude and cyclic emittance of the particles, eventually causing beam loss. In order to improve the beam quality of the cyclotron, the shimming technology of the first harmonic magnetic field is essential. In this paper, through the finite element simulation calculation of the main magnet of the cyclotron, a quantitative algorithm for the first harmonic shimming based on the least norm square solution is proposed. At present, this method is being pre-pared for apply to the magnetic field shimming of the 10MeV high-current proton cyclotron of the CIAE.

  China Institute of Atomic Energy’s 250MeV superconducting cyclotron (CYCIAE-250) uses the induction coil method to measure the magnetic field in its airgap. To ensure the precision of magnetic field measurement, area of the induction coil needs to be calibrated. This paper designs a set of coil calibration technique based on flipping coil method. The uniform magnetic field needed for calibration is provided by a permanent magnet with good static performance, its field is measured through high-precision nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) probe. Then the induction coil will then be installed at the same position of the NMR probe. During the calibration process, induction coil is rotated 180 degrees and magnetic flux through it will be recorded by a high-speed digital integrator. Corresponding equipment is also designed to finish this task. This Paper describes this magnetic field measurement method, corresponding magnetic measurement equipment, calibration process of the induction coil and calibrated area of the coil.
