Journal of Contemporary Physics (Armenian Academy of Sciences) Aims and scope

Abstract

This article provides data on the development and creation of a vacuum window module, which will bring out the proton beam of the C18 cyclotron (IBA, Belgium) with energy of 18 MeV from a vacuum environment into the atmosphere. The module is made of aluminum and consists of a flange with a collimator and a helium (He) chamber of foil plates cooling. The module was installed at the end of the cyclotron’s beam line. Profile measurements were made for various current values of proton beam from 1 to 30 µA. The vacuum window showed its functionality.
