New considerations for compact cyclotrons
… three potential applications of compact cyclotrons: generation of ¹³ for medical imaging, active interrogation for counter-proliferation, and fast neutron imaging for Enhanced Stockpile Surveillance (ESS). The first two applications are broadly reviewed. The ESS imaging application …

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 lOmA 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 …

Characterization of ferromagnetic saturation at 4.2K of selected bulk rare earth metals for compact high-field superconducting cyclotrons
The saturation magnetization of the rare earth ferromagnetic metals gadolinium and holmium was investigated. Cylindrical samples were placed in a superconducting test magnet and induced magnetic field measured at various applied fields. Data was obtained with Hall sensors mounted at the tips of the …

Design and optimization of a multi-particle accelerator beam transport and delivery system for material irradiation in nuclear and fusion science
… beam transport system was to incorporate the two cyclotrons into the beam transport system and transport their beams to the target chamber, the location of the target sample. The cyclotrons were designed using Opera-3D and Acfields. The beam transport system was designed using TRANSPORT. The …

Design and testing of an electron cyclotron resonance heating ion source for use in high field compact superconducting cyclotrons
… allowing for a high beam current accelerator. Cyclotrons with high beam current have the potential to improve the availability of proton radiation therapy. Proton radiation therapy is a precisely targeted treatment capable of providing an excellent non-invasive treatment option for tumors …

Target Design and Optimizations for Spent Fuel Transmutation
… energy beams of 18-70 MeV from commercial cyclotrons for transmutation. This thesis also analyzes the use of 1000 MeV proton beams to generate a substantial number of secondary neutrons through spallation interactions with target materials. The secondary neutrons produced from the …

Charged particle beam transport for a cyclotron facility
… design of a specific transfer beamline between cyclotrons. The design of a specific external beamline is also described and used to illustrate the techniques developed.

Design and realization of a beam transport line for handling and selecting laser-driven ion beams for multidisciplinary applications
… associated with complex accelerators (mostly cyclotrons and synchrotrons, and, in general, technical complexity of the facility management and the fact that other radiation therapies have a longer history of use. The use of more compact hadrontherapy approaches would obviously have a valuable …

A cyclotron injector for a proton synchroton
The problem, set at the beginning of 1953, was to construct and bring into operation a cyclotron which would be suitable as an injector for the Canberra proton synchrotron. The main content of this thesis is concerned with work which has been done towards the solution of the problem. At the time a …
