A 100MeV compact high intensity H-cyclotron is under design and construction at CIAE which will provide a 75MeV—100MeV,200μA proton beam.The main magnet of this cyclotron adopts an integrally compact structure with a fixed field and four sectors,while the hill gap is constantly changeable.This paper reviews the design features of the magnet,numerical simulation results,the inner defects of the magnet including the carbon content segregation and shrinkage porosity,factors related to mechanical design including the tolerance and deformation.The latest progress will also be reported in this paper.
A new RIB project, the Beijing Radioactive Ion-beam Facility （BRIF）, has been running at CIAE since 2004. In this project, a 100 MeV H-cyclotron, CYCIAE-100, is selected as the driving accelerator providing a 75-100 MeV, 200-500 μA proton beam. An ISOL system employs two stage separators to reach the mass resolution of 20000. Its RIB beam will be injected into the existing Tandem and a superconducting booster installed down stream of the Tandem will increase the energy by 2 MeV/q. The progress of BRIF, giving special emphasis to CYCIAE-100, will be introduced in this paper.
The design and construction of Beijing Radioactive Ion-beam Facility (BRIF) was started at China Institute of Atomic Energy -CIAE) in 2004. In this project, a 100 MeV high intensity cyclotron, CYCIAE100, is selected as a driving accelerator for radioactive ion beam production. It will provide a proton beam of 75—100 MeV with an intensity of 200—500 μA. The scheme adopted in this design, i.e., stripping the accelerated H-, makes the structure more compact and construction cost much lower. At present, the design for each system has been accomplished. This paper depicts the basic physics design of the machine, including its major structure and parameters, beam dynamics and each relevant system, e.g. basic structure of the main magnet, numerical simulation of the RF resonant cavity, axial injection system, central region, and study on crucial physics problems concerning the extraction and beam lines. The major problems encountered during the design of CYCIAE-100 are also summarized in this paper.
