- Abstract
- CYCLONE is an isochronous cyclotron in operation in Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium). It is equipped with a P.I.G. hot cathode heavy ion source and accelerates various ions up to energies of 110 MeV Q/sup 2//A with extracted beam intensities reaching 10 mu A in the 4/sup +/ state. The source is described and some performance parameters are given. In order to reach higher charge states, an injector cyclotron is proposed which will allow a final energy of 27 MeV/nucleon up to neon decreasing to 6 MeV/nucleon for xenon. Extracted intensities vary between 5*10/sup 13/ and 10/sup 9/ pps depending on particle and energy. Some design aspects are described.
