Description
We have designed a q/A=1/2 K100 cyclotron for various applications including the production of medical isotopes and neutrons using high-intensity H2+, D+, He2+ ions at the maximum energy of 25 MeV/u. In addition, with acceleration of fully charge-stripped light heavy ions such as 14N7+, 36Ar18+, we plan to study space radiation effects on semiconductor chips and precision radiobiology by using microbeam as a high-energy microprobe. Both horizontal and vertical microbeam lines have been designed to conveniently accommodate solid and liquid targets, respectively. The beam optics for microbeam was carried out using TRACE-3D, TRANSPORT in linear optics and TURTLE for particle tracking including up to 3rd order. To produce different ion species in wide range of beam currents, ion sources for H2+, D+, He2+ are placed on top of the cyclotron while a high-performing superconducting ECR ion source needs to located on the upper floor with a beam line for charge selection and axial injection. I will present the design of microbeam lines along with the progress on the cyclotron system design.
