This paper presents the research progress in the beam dynamics problems for future high intensity compact cyclotrons by utilizing the state-of-the-art high performance computation technology. A "Start-to-Stop" model, which includes both the interaction of the internal particles of a single bunch and the mutual interaction of neighboring multiple bunches in the radial direction, is established for compact cyclotrons with multi-turn extraction. This model is then implemented in OPAL-CYCL, which is a 3D object-oriented parallel code for large scale particle simulations in cyclotrons. In addition, to meet the running requirement of parallel computation, we have constructed a small scale HPC cluster system and tested its performance. Finally, the high intensity beam dynamics problems in the 100 MeV compact cyclotron, which is being constructed at CIAE, are studied using this code and some conclusions are drawn.
This paper briefly introduces several major application fields of high intensity proton accelerators and compares the developing status of various types of proton accelerators currently available at home and abroad. Technical parameters of typical accelerators are specified. The technical features of high intensity cyclotrons are summarized and a general introduction is given to the 3 major phases of research and development on high intensity cyclotrons at CIAE. In the end, emphasis is laid on the recent research of critical technology of high intensity cyclotrons as well as its developing progress.
A comprehensive test stand for high-intensity cyclotron development,a 10 MeV 430 μA cyclotron,has been successfully constructed at China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) for the experimental verification of the viability of a 100 MeV high-intensity cyclotron (CYCIAE-100) being constructed at CIAE.The verification includes the overall design technology,detail design and engineering technology for the crucial parts of the machine,e.g.main magnet and beam diagnostics.It will also pave the way for future enhancement of the beam intensity.The test stand consists of a H-ion source,axial injection system,central region,main magnet and coil,RF resonator,stripping extraction,and auxiliary systems,which include the RF power amplifier,high voltage and DC power supplies,electric apparatus,beam diagnostics,control,vacuum,water cooling,pneumatic system,and safety interlock.This paper presents the work regarding the design and sub-system development of the test sand,and the results of the beam commissioning of the machine.
