The injector cyclotrons
Creators
Description
The injector cyclotron SPC1 again proved itself to be a very reliable machine. During the past year only about 4% of the beam interruptions were due to injector failures. Even during scheduled shutdowns very little time was devoted to SPC1. Progress with SPC2 has been slow owing to lack of manpower and the higher priority given to other tasks. However, the magnet is now ready for field mapping, and the software for this is completed. The resonators are on site, but the dees have still to be manufactured. The extraction elements have been manufactured, and software for the vacuum control system is progressing well. The ECR source has been delivered, but not yet tested, while the spin-aligned ion source is still undergoing tests prior to delivery. 2 figs., 5 refs
