Description

The Arronax C70XP cyclotron is used to extract positive ions at fixed energy and protons from 35 to 70 MeV for irradiations. In order to support lower energy irradiations, an internal target system that can be positioned at various radius is being built. Several studies are being performed to investigate the beam behaviour. These studies include intensity profile of the beam as a function of the radius and the impact of several magnet settings. Multiple repetitive checks have also been done and a first operational protocol is being favored to minimise potential impact on the final results for short irradiation in the R&D phase. This phase is part of a more global study that will tackle for example production of Astatine 211 at high intensity. The ongoing work is reported within this paper.
