Abstract:
Superconducting ring cyclotrons (SRCs) are widely studied as drivers in accelerator-driven systems (ADS) for thorium-based molten-salt energy amplifiers, owing to their capability of delivering high-energy and high-intensity beams. This poster presents the magnet system design of an H₂⁺ superconducting separated-sector cyclotron with an extracted beam energy of 800 MeV/amu for ADS applications.
The required beam quality for this cyclotron is defined according to the operational criteria of the Thorium-Based Molten Salt Reactor System as outlined in a recent study on thorium-based energy amplifiers at the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics.The main tasks include modeling the magnet system, optimizing the isochronous magnetic field, and performing equilibrium orbit analysis to verify stable beam dynamics.
The results demonstrate that the optimized field configuration can achieve the required isochronous condition with tolerances compatible with ADS operation, providing a solid foundation for further beam dynamics and engineering studies.
