Description
A research project is ongoing at IBA to design an innovative compact high-intensity self-extracting cyclotron. The project, named InnovaTron, has received funding from the EU H2020 MSCA programme. In the self-extracting cyclotron, proton beams are extracted without any active device. A prototype cyclotron was built by IBA in 2001. Proton currents up to 2 mA were extracted from it. InnovaTron will improve the magnet design and the beam optics of the self-extracting cyclotron for the acceleration of high-intensity proton beams up to 5 mA or more to be used for large-scale industrial applications. An overview on the InnovaTron project will be presented together with the first simulation results, including space charge.
