CYCIAE-100, a 100 MeV H- cyclotron for RIB production

For productions of intense proton and radioactive ion beam (RIB) used in fundamental and applied researches, e.g. neutron physics, nuclear structure, material and life sciences and medical isotope production, a new RIB facility, Beijing Radioactive Ion-beam Facility (BRIF) was started in CIAE since 2004. For this project, a 100 MeV H- cyclotron is selected as the driving accelerator, providing a 75100 MeV, 200-500 mu A proton beam. In this paper, after a brief description of BRIF, various aspects about the 100 MeV cyclotron including the general description, specification, beam dynamics, design features of the magnet, RF system, etc. will be described respectively. And its outlook for R&D will be introduced too. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
