Description

ome of the new cyclotron projects currently under study or construction address new challenges. In particular, the START project of the company TRANSMUTEX to drive a subcritical reactor with a 4 MW proton beam, the 6 MW CYCIAE-2000 project, the IsoDar cyclotron of MIT, the new 230 MeV superconducting cyclotron for proton therapy and flash therapy in Dubna, and the upgrading of the Catania superconducting cyclotron to reach the 5-10 kW, along with their specific challenges, will be discussed. The procedure and tools to achieve high beam power, high reliability, setting optimization and automatic restart will be analyzed.
