Design of the injection channel magnets for the K1200 cyclotron

The beam from the K500 cyclotron is injected radially into the median plane of the K1200 cyclotron where it is stripped inside a dee. Along the injection path, the injected beam traverses large magnetic gradients under the K1200 superconducting coil and on the edge of the hill. To match the injected beam to the eigen-ellipse for the accelerated beam, two magnetic elements are included in the injection channel in the yoke of the K1200 cyclotron. One of them is an active element and the other a conical focusing passive element. This last element must move in the horizontal plane to match the different beam paths. We describe in the paper the beam dynamics calculations as well as the mechanical design and construction of these magnets
