Superconducting cyclotron in strasbourg

Abstract

A group is working at the Centre de Recherches Nucléaires in Strasbourg on the design of a compact superconducting cyclotron (K = 500). The main parameters of the accelerator required to cover the needs expressed by the physicists are presented and discussed. Three different modes of operation are considered at present: internal source, external high charge state source and upgraded MP tandem injection. Some recent results, obtained in Strasbourg for ion stripping and of interest in the injection problem are also presented.
