Combination of a Van de Graaff accelerator and a split-pole cyclotron for heavy ions

The proposed accelerator system consists of a HVEC model CN Van de Graaff as injector and a split‐pole‐cyclotron. This combination is able to accelerate ions of mass A ≤ 12 up to an energy of 200 MeV. Beam currents of 1012 particles/sec at an energy resolution of ΔE/E = 10−3 are anticipated.The Van de Graaff accelerates doubly charged ions to Ei ≤ 12 MeV. The ions are stripped and further accelerated in the cyclotron to 16.8·Ei. The cyclotron consists of 4 separated 50° magnets and two 36° Dees. The energy capability of the magnet is A · E/q2 = 100 MeV.
