- Abstract
- CYCLONE is a multiparticle variable energy cyclotron capable of accelerating ions between 2.3 and 95 MeV/amu and with a bending limit of 130 MeV Q/sup 2//A. It is used for nuclear physics, isotope production and medical and technological applications. Since 1982, ECREVIS (a superconducting ECR-source) has been used for heavy ion injection in the cyclotron. The most abundant charge states are roughly twice those obtained with the internal PIG-source, and extracted currents of 2 mu A-electrical have been achieved. Completely stripped ions of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen have been extracted. The overall efficiency between cyclotron beam on target and source intensity after charge state analysis varies between 5 and 15%, depending on harmonic mode, ion velocity and main cyclotron field. A simple two-gap klystron-type buncher is used. The facility is further being extended with additional experimental beam lines, a second neutron therapy facility and a positron camera.
