Central region design for a 10 MeV internal ion source cyclotron

Internal ion sources are widely adopted in commercial cyclotrons used for short-life isotopes production. Without beam manipulation provided by the external beam injection line, the central region of this type of cyclotron is more sensitive and should be carefully designed. A design study and beam dynamics simulation for the central region of a 10 MeV compact cyclotron is presented. The OPERA3D/TOSCA code was used to calculate the electric field from a parameterized three dimensional （3D） central region model. With iterative structure optimizations of the central region, the beam centering and vertical focusing is well controlled, and the RF phase acceptance is around 25°. A c＋＋ code for beam simulation in the central region was developed and tested.     

基于BEM泊松方程求解的空间电荷效应数值模拟

 为了模拟强束流在加速器及其传输线中的行为,用C++语言开发了一种包含空间电荷效应的多粒子跟踪程序(PTP-SC),它在经典的PIC方法基础上,基于边界元法(BEM)和非等距的网格求解泊松方程。束流在自由空间分布的仿真结果与解析结果保持较好的一致性。给出了一条注入线的模拟计算结果,并与ORBIT,TRACE 3-D的计算结果进行比对。结果表明：该程序与采用数值方法的ORBIT程序的计算结果有较好的一致性。该程序可用于直线加速器及回旋加速器中的空间电荷效应模拟。
