Final Report Measuring Radiation Damage from Heavy Energetic Ions in Aluminum Funded by DOE under DE-FG02-07ER41472
An intense beam of 122 MeV/u (9.3 GeV) Ge ions was stopped in aluminum samples at the Coupled Cyclotron Facility at NSCL, MSU. Attempts were made at ORNL to measure changes in material properties by measuring changes in electrical resistivity and microhardness, and by transmission electron microscopy characterization, for defect density caused by radiation damage, as a function of depth and int...
متن کاملEffects of Vertical Misalignment of Superconducting Coils in Cyclotrons
Introduction The vertical misalignment of coil fields with respect to iron fields in cyclotrons can lead to significant beam losses in the course of beam extraction. During commissioning of the Coupled Cyclotron Project at the NSCL unusually high beam losses have been observed on an extraction magnetic element of the K500 cyclotron. The beam loss was first observed on the beam current profiles ...
متن کاملThe Nscl Coupled Cyclotron Project - Overview and Status
The present nuclear physics program at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) is based on an ECR-ion-source injected K1200 superconducting cyclotron. An upgrade project is now underway to significantly increase the facility’s output intensity for light ions and energy for heavy ions by coupling the existing superconducting K500 cyclotron to the K1200. The improved acceleration...
متن کاملStatus Report of the Accel 250 Mev Medical Cyclotron
Since 2001 a superconducting cyclotron for proton therapy has been designed in collaboration with the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at ACCEL Instruments GmbH [1]. The design is based on a NSCL proposal originating from 1993 [2]. In the recent years two cyclotrons of this type were built, tested as far as magnetic and cryogenic properties are concerned and installed at the...
متن کاملOctupolar Excitation of Ion Motion in a Penning Trap
The excitation of the motion of ions in a Penning trap at twice their cyclotron frequency, 2νc, by means of an azimuthal octupolar RF field has been studied with the LEBIT facility at the NSCL. The possibility of such an RF octupolar excitation has been verified. Compared to ion excitation at νc by means of quadrupolar fields an increased resolving power is observed in the cyclotron resonance c...
