Description

The AVF cyclotron system at JAERI Takasaki has been smoothly operated without serious troubles since the first beam extraction of 50 MeV 4He2+ in March 1991. A yearly operation time is about 3200 hours on an average for past several years. In the last three years, we performed some improvements and developments as follows: stabilization of the cyclotron beam, renewal of computers and basic programs for the control system, installation of a new ECR ion source and reconstruction of the rotary shutter. Furthermore, two series of M/Q=4 and M/Q=2 cocktail beams have been developed continuously. Now we are modifying the RF cavities for the flat-top acceleration by superimposing the fifth-harmonic frequency on the fundamental one
