DECY-13 Cyclotron Equilibrium Orbit Verification Using CYCLONE

A cyclotron is a machine that accelerates a charged particle in a circular trajectory using electric and magnetic fields. The technical development of 13 MeV cyclotron in PSTA (Pusat Sains dan Teknologi Akselerator) BATAN was started in 2010 which eventually will be used for radioisotope production. A cyclotron consists of various technologies such as an electromagnetic, RF (Radio Frequency), ion source, and vacuum systems. Among them, the electromagnetic creates a magnetic field for particles to accelerate in a stable circular orbit. A particle within a uniform magnetic field moves along a closed trajectory, and that is called an equilibrium orbit. The stability of particle acceleration refers to the movement along the equilibrium orbit with oscillation. This paper deals with the equilibrium orbit verification using CYCLONE. We calculated and analyzed the magnetic and electric fields using Opera, then used them as input data in CYCLONE. The CYCLONE analysis provides several beam parameters such as beam energy, tune diagram, and beam trajectory. The analysis result shows that the beam was accelerated until the desired energy (13 MeV).
