15. A target system for ion-beam activation of particulate nanomaterials

Dr Antonio Bulgheroni (EC - JRC)

Talk

The application range of manufactured nanomaterials is steadily increasing, as is their use in industry and consumer products. In parallel, there is growing concern about the safety of these materials. Radiolabelling techniques are extremely sensitive and useful tools for tracing studies to assess the fate of nanoparticles and possible risks for human health and environment arising from the...

43. Facts and figures on S2C2 ion source: experimental characterization and extrapolated results for application in PT

Mr Sébastien Henrotin (IBA)

Talk

IBA will equip its new superconducting synchrocyclotron (S2C2) with an internal PIG ion source. This choice is motivated by the source compactness, simplicity and cost but is not easy to implement in the present case. As an example, the high magnetic field and central region turn pattern imply the use an extremely thin chimney. Therefore, experimental design validation and testing is...

28. New dual frequency RF system for Cyclone 30XP

Mr Michel Abs (IBA)

11/05/2012, 16:05

Talk

The IBA famous Cyclone 30 has been recently upgraded in order to not only accelerate protons but also deuterons and alpha particles. For efficient acceleration and easier central region design all the particles are accelerated along the same turn pattern, on the same harmonic mode. Consequently, the RF cavities must be resonating on two different frequencies. In order to provide a simple,...

39. Program to improve the JYFL ion beam transport efficiency for K130 cyclotron

Dr Hannu Koivisto (Department of Physics, University of Jyväskylä (JYFL))

11/05/2012, 16:30

Talk

The transmission efficiency measurements of the JYFL accelerator facility were started in 2007. The motivation towards the studies was the fact that after a certain limit the beam intensity after the cyclotron did not increase with the beam intensity extracted from the JYFL 14 GHz ECRIS. Instead, the accelerated beam intensity reaches a saturation value and even starts to decrease if the total...
