Abstract
The vacuum system of the heavy ion cyclotron complex DC-60 created at the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research for the interdisciplinary research complex (Astana, Kazakhstan) is described. The results of numerical simulation of transmission efficiency of accelerated ions in the course of recharging on residual gas, which determines the basic parameters of the designed vacuum system, are presented. As a result of successful implementation of the cyclotron complex DC-60 project, heavy ion beams were accelerated. The obtained parameters of the vacuum system agree completely with calculations, which were the basis of the project.
