Ion source and low energy injection line for a central region model cyclotron

Rev Sci Instrum. 2008 Feb;79(2 Pt 2):02C705. doi: 10.1063/1.2805238.

Abstract

At CIAE, a 100 MeV H(-) cyclotron (CYCIAE-100) is under design and construction. A central region model (CRM) cyclotron was built for various experimental verifications for the CYCIAE-100 project and for research and development of high current injection to accelerate milliampere H(-) beam. The H(-) multicusp source built in 2003 has been improved recently to make the source operation more stable. A new injection line for axial low energy high current injection has been designed and constructed for the CRM cyclotron.
