Abstract
A comprehensive test stand for high-intensity cyclotron development, a 10 MeV 430 μA cyclotron, has been successfully constructed at China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) for the experimental verification of the viability of a 100 MeV high-intensity cyclotron (CYCIAE-100) being constructed at CIAE. The verification includes the overall design technology, detail design and engineering technology for the crucial parts of the machine, e.g. main magnet and beam diagnostics. It will also pave the way for future enhancement of the beam intensity. The test stand consists of a H− ion source, axial injection system, central region, main magnet and coil, RF resonator, stripping extraction, and auxiliary systems, which include the RF power amplifier, high voltage and DC power supplies, electric apparatus, beam diagnostics, control, vacuum, water cooling, pneumatic system, and safety interlock. This paper presents the work regarding the design and sub-system development of the test sand, and the results of the beam commissioning of the machine.
