High Intensity Superconducting Cyclotron
Abstract
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology undertook to design, fabricate and test a prototype compact superconducting proton cyclotron which addressed all fundamental design and performance issues for a cyclotron at a final energy of 250 MeV and final beam intensity of 1 mA with less than 0.1% extraction loss. In March 2012, DTRA suspended work on the project indefinitely. This report documents the accomplishments and status of work on the five major subsystems of the project: 1) proton injection using external electron cyclotron resonance source with axial injection using spiral inflector; 2) magnetic field design; 3) radio frequency accelerating cavities; 4) cryogenic system; 5)beam extraction.
