Heavy ion DC-110 cyclotron for industrial applications and applied studies in nanotechnologies

A cyclotron complex has been developed at the Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, for a wide spectrum of applied studies in the field of nanotechnologies (template technologies, track membranes, surface modification, etc.). This complex includes a specialized DC-110 cyclotron, which gives high intensity beams of accelerated Ar, Kr, and Xe ions with a fixed energy of 2.5 MeV/nucleon. This cyclotron is equipped by an external injection system with an ECR ion source operating at a frequency of 18 GHz. The cyclotron electromagnet with a pole diameter of 2 m offers a working magnetic field on a level of 1.67 T. The fixed RF frequency is 15.5 MHz. The beam is extracted from the cyclotron by the electrostatic deflector. The main parameters of DC-110 cyclotron are presented in this paper.
