摘要

We have designed a high-current Q/A = 1/2 K100 cyclotron capable of producing radiotracers for industry. The ions should have the mass to charge ratio Q/A = 1/2 such as H2+, D+, He2+ and their maximum energy is 25 MeV/u. The maximum proton current is expected to be over 2 mA if the space charge effect at injection is the limiting factor. Extraction efficiency should be over 99% at a beam power of 50 kW to avoid severe radio activation. The final radial gain with four RF dees at 100 kV is about 9 mm by RF acceleration and can be enlarged by orbital precession. In addition, charge-stripping extraction can be used for H2+ enabling energy variability.
