Supplying and acceleration of multicharged ions on the Kiev Isochronous Cyclotron U-240

摘要

The Kiev Isochronous Cyclotron U-240 is working from 1976 year as accelerator of Protons and Light Ions. Few years ago facility was modernized to accelerate heavy ions. The test band was built to study charge state distribution and yield of multicharged ions. The Ion Source was modernized and tested. New technology to supply solid matter ions by sputtering of composite material from anticathode was realized. The Central Region of Cyclotron was reconsidered in order to accommodate different RF harmonics of acceleration. Ions of Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen etc. have been successfully accelerated.
