Description

Nowadays, there are almost 5 million new patients every year who get cancer in China. However isotope drugs are not enough according to this large numbers of patients. A compact cyclotron with 16-MeV proton is designed for current tough situation to product isotopes.
The diameter of the core part of this compact cyclotron is less than 60 cm. Physics simulation has been done by the CODE CYCLONE. With adjust extraction, a reasonable current of 100 um can be got by this machine. This paper will report the study in detail.
