英文摘要：

In this document we present the calculation and experimental validation of a source term for ${}^{18}$F-production with a cyclotron for medical applications operating at 18 MeV proton energy and 30 $μ$A proton current. The Monte Carlo codes MCNP6 and FLUKA were used for the calculation of the source term. In addition, the radiation field around the $^{18}$O-enriched water target was simulated with the two codes. To validate the radiation field obtained in the simulation, an experimental program has been started using activation samples which are placed close to the water target during an ${}^{18}$F-production run of the cyclotron. After the irradiation, the samples are analyzed and the resulting activation is compared to Monte Carlo calculations of the expected sample activation. We find good agreement between simulations and experimental results, with most calculation to experiment (C/E) ratios well between 0.6 and 1.4.

Magnet design optimization of a 100 MeV separated sector medical cyclotron and its injection line

This paper presents the magnetic design of a 100MeV Separated Sector Medical Cyclotron (SSMC) as well as the optimization of the injection line magnets where will be used to transport the 14MeV proton beam from the Azimuthally Varying Field (AVF) cyclotron to the SSMC. The study demonstrates that the isochronous magnetic field with a tolerance around 10-4 T can be obtained all along prescribed path by placing three sets of correction trim coils in the pole tips. The result of Betatron oscillations is sufficient to verify that the focusing forces of the magnetic field can hold particles close t…

Order-of-Magnitude Beam Current Improvement in Compact Cyclotrons

There is great need for high intensity proton beams from compact particle accelerators in particle physics, medical isotope production, and materials- and energy-research. To address this need, we present, for the first time, a design for a compact isochronous cyclotron that will be able to deliver 10 mA of 60 MeV protons - an order of magnitude higher than on-market compact cyclotrons and a factor four higher than research machines. A key breakthrough is that vortex motion is incorporated in the design of a cyclotron, leading to clean extraction. Beam losses on the septa of the electrostatic …

High Power Cyclotrons: The Bridge Between Beyond the Standard Model Physics, Computation, and Medical Applications

The IsoDAR cyclotron is a 60 MeV cyclotron designed to output 10mA of protons in order to be a driver for a neutrino experiment. Coupling the high flux generated by the IsoDAR system with a kiloton neutrino detector will provide sterile neutrino exclusion searches covering anomalous regions indicated by short baseline experiments. Simultaneously, the coupling of a high power target and kiloton detector allows for the investigation of dark matter candidates, namely axion-like particles. We have shown that nuclear excitations within the IsoDAR target create a unique opportunity to produce axions…

Enabling a Multi-Purpose High-Energy Neutron Source Based on High-Current Compact Cyclotrons

The current and future need for high-energy neutrons has been a subject of increasing discussion and concern. Immediate applications for such an intense neutron source include medical isotope production, high-energy physics (HEP) research, and for materials development and to support qualification for fission reactors. Also, and of the utmost importance, is the need for such a source to inform critical gaps in our understanding of the transmutation materials science issues facing fusion power reactors. A 14 MeV fusion prototypical neutron source (FPNS) has been a critical, yet unresolved need …

High current $\mathrm{H}_2^+$ beams from a filament-driven multicusp ion source

Recently, the use of $\mathrm{H}_2^+$ ions instead of protons to overcome space charge challenges in compact cyclotrons has received much attention. This technique has the potential to increase the available beam current from compact cyclotrons by an order of magnitude, paving the way for applications in energy research, medical isotope production, and particle physics, e.g. a decisive search for sterile neutrinos through the IsoDAR experiment. For IsoDAR we go a step beyond just using $\mathrm{H}_2^+$ and add pre-bunching through a Radio-Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) embedded in the cyclotron yo…

采用脉冲C6 +/ H2 +离子源的Cyclinac医用加速器

Cyclinac Medical Accelerators Using Pulsed C6+/H2+ Ion Sources

带电粒子疗法，或所谓的强子疗法，发展非常迅速。科学界面临着巨大的压力，需要提供专用的加速器，以最低的成本提供最好的治疗方式。在这种情况下，意大利研究基金会TERA正在开发快速循环加速器，称为“cyclinacs”。这些是回旋加速器（将离子加速到固定的初始能量）和随后的高梯度直线加速器的组合，所述高梯度直线加速器将离子能量提升到医学治疗所需的最大值。直线加速器由许多独立控制的速调管供电，以改变从一个脉冲到下一个脉冲的束能量。该加速器最适合使用4D多点扫描技术治疗活动器官。本文介绍了一种质子/碳离子双回旋加速器。它由电子束离子源、超导等离子体回旋加速器和高梯度直线加速器组成。所有这些机器都以高重复率（100-400 Hz）脉冲。该源应在短脉冲（1.5 μs平顶）中提供C6+和H2+离子，并具有足够的强度（在300 Hz下至少108个完全剥离的碳离子）。回旋加速器将离子加速到120 MeV/u。它具有紧凑的设计（超导线圈）和低功耗。该直线加速器具有新颖的C波段高梯度结构，并将离子加速到高达400 MeV/u的可变能量。对于相同的离子提取能量，高RF频率导致比同步加速器低得多的功率消耗。这项工作是与CLIC小组合作的一部分，该小组正在欧洲核子研究中心研究高梯度电子-正电子对撞机。

高强度无标度CW质子驱动器

CW high intensity non-scaling FFAG proton drivers

加速器在基础科学、技术和医学中发挥着越来越重要的作用，包括核能、工业辐照、材料科学和中微子生产。特别是质子和光离子加速器具有许多研究，能源和医疗应用，为许多类型的癌症提供了最有效的治疗方法之一。超高强度高能质子驱动器是加速器驱动次临界反应堆（ADS）和许多HEP计划（μ子对撞机）的关键技术。这些高强度GeV范围的质子驱动器特别具有挑战性，在同步加速器中遇到占空比和空间电荷限制，在弱聚焦回旋加速器中遇到机器尺寸问题; 10-20 MW质子驱动器目前被认为在技术上无法用传统的再循环加速器实现。一种尚未开发的再循环加速器，即固定场交变梯度加速器（FFAG），是回旋加速器的一种有吸引力的替代品。其强大的聚焦光学系统预计将减轻空间电荷效应，最近的设计创新将稳定的调谐与等轨道耦合，使FFAG能够像经典回旋加速器一样进行固定频率的CW加速。本文报道了这些新的进展FFAG加速器技术和参考先进的建模工具，为固定场加速器开发的和独特的代码COSY INFINITY。
