Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reaction of Joint Institute for Nuclear Research carries out the works under creating of FLNR JINR Irradiation Facility based on the cyclotron U400R. The main systems of U400R are based on the U400 cyclotron. The objectives of this project are: - to increase the intensity of accelerated 48Ca ion beams from 1.2 puA to 2 puA; - to expand the energy range of accelerated ions from 2–20 MeV per unit mass to 0.8–25 MeV per unit mass; - to extract ion using stripping foil and deflector; - to reduce the energy spread in the beam to 3×10⁻³. The results of calculating the parameters of the new RF-system are given in this work.
The Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research continues work on the reconstruction of the U400 cyclotron into a new U400R accelerator complex designed to produce accelerated ion beams with an atomic mass in the range of A = 4 ÷ 209 and an energy of 0.8 ÷ 25 MeV/nucleon. The intensity of accelerated ions will be about 2.5 μA particles for 48Ca ions. The axial injection system of the U400R cyclotron is a modernization of a similar system of the U400 cyclotron. The report presents the results of calculating the axial injection beam line of the cyclotron.
U400M isochronous cyclotron was create on the base of U300 classic cyclotron and is under operation at FLNR, JINR since 1996. U400M cyclotron is intended for accelerating the ion beams with A/Z= 2.286 – 9 to energy W = 80 – 6 MeV/nucl. Cyclotron have H-type main magnet with 4-meter pole diameter and 4 pairs of spiral type sectors. In 2022 year, the reconstruction of cyclotron magnetic structure was held on. The reconstruction included the replacement of magnet main coil, mapping and correction of cyclotron magnetic field. In the frame of the mapping, the magnetic field was corrected to improve its average radial distribution and to compensate the first harmonic. For cyclo- tron magnetic field mapping the automatic measurement system, based on 14 Hall probes, was used.
At the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reaction, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), work is continuing on a new multipurpose applied science facility based on the DC-140 cyclotron. The intensity of the accelerated ions will be about 1 pμA for light ions (A < 86) and about 0.1 pμA for heavier ions (A > 132). The beam transport system consists of three lines: for the SEE testing of microchips, for the production of track membranes, and for solving applied physics problems. The beam focusing in the beam lines is provided by a set of quadrupole lenses with gradients reaching 6 T/m.
— The new heavy-ion isochronous cyclotron DC140 is being built at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. The DC140 facility is intended for the SEE testing of microchips, the production of track membranes, and for solving applied physics problems. The cyclotron will produce accelerated beams of ions A/Z = 5–5.5 and 7.5–8.25 with a fixed beam energy of 4.8 and 2.124 MeV/n, respectively. The passive magnetic channel is part of the beam extraction system and is used to produce radial focusing of the extracted beam after its deflection. Placed in the fringe magnetic field, the channel transforms it to produce a radially growing gradient along the beam path near the sector edge. In this work, the results of trajectory analysis, 2D and 3D simulations, and design details of the passive magnetic channel are presented.
The Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research is continuing works on a new multipurpose applied science facility based on the DC140 cyclotron. The axial injection systems of DC140 cyclotron are a reconstruction of the DC72 cyclotron ones. The overview of the elements of the axial injection system is presented in this report.
An optimized magnetic specification has been searched for a PM quadrupole constructed for the DC-140 cyclotron in JINR, Dubna. The field inhomogeneity should be reduced to come closer to an ideal distribution. The quad parameters should be determined with very high mechanical and magnetic precision in order to reach the specified gradient. Results of the analytic study based on a 2D model gave initial values for the PM blocks dimensions and orientations. To ensure stringent performance criteria, parametrized 2D and 3D models of the quad were built. These models were used to optimize the magnet configuration, analyze its sensitivity to various errors and derive parameter tolerances. Additional adjustment to suitable field quality is foreseen using results of a trajectory analysis and acceptance inspection. The design parameters for the best suited magnet configuration are presented and the performance criteria are defined. However, an electromagnetic analysis of the selected configuration has revealed that the relative field error adopted previously as the optimization criterion gives low accuracy estimate. Alternative estimations are proposed utilizing the field gradient error as the basic criterion to satisfy the constraint on the field inhomogeneity.

The design and specification choices are described for a PM quadrupole used to enable beam transport in a cyclotron. First an analytic study with a simplified 2D model is performed to give initial values for magnet configuration and performance. Characteristics of PM blocks and cylinders are analysed. Then a 3D parametrized model is used to solve the direct magnetostatic problem and accurately define quad specifications. Simulations are carried out with KOMPOT electromagnetic code utilizing the differential formulation. The regulariza- tion method is applied to solve the inverse problem. Magnetic characteristics, dimensions and shapes of the PM units and iron parts are determined in order to reach the specified field gradient. Possible correction of the resulting the ideal specification is discussed with respect to additional constraints put by practical implementation. Candidate PM materials are proposed. Simulated field maps are presented. The method described may serve as a basis for virtual prototyping and be integrated into end-to-end design and construction of magnet systems.

INTRODUCTION Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reaction of Joint Institute for Nuclear Research carries out the works under the creating of Irradiation Facility based on the DC140 cyclotron. The DC140 will be a reconstruction of the DC72 cyclotron [1, 2]. Table 1 presents the main parameters of DC140 cyclotron. Table 1: DC140 Cyclotron Main Parameters Parameter Value Pole (extraction) radius, m 1.3 (1.18) Magnetic field, T 1.415 1.546 Number of sectors 4 RF frequency, MHz 8.632 Harmonic number 2 3 Energy, MeV/u 4.8 2.124 A/Z range 5.0 5.5 7.577 8.25 RF voltage, kV 60 Number of Dees 2 Ion extraction method electrostatic deflector Deflector voltage, kV 70 The irradiation facility will be used for Single Event Effect (SEE) testing of microchips by means of ion beams (16O, 20Ne, 40Ar, 56Fe, 84,86Kr, 132Xe, 197Au and 209Bi) with energy of 4.8 MeV per unit mass and having mass-tocharge ratio A/Z in the range from 5.0 to 5.5. Besides the research works on radiation physics, radiation resistance of materials and the production of track membranes will be carrying out by using the ion beams with energy of about 2.124 MeV per unit mass and A/Z ratio in the range from 7.577 to 8.25. The working diagram of DC140 cyclotron is presented in report MOP019 at this conference [3]. The acceleration of ion beam in the cyclotron will be performed at constant frequency f = 8.632 MHz of the RF-accelerating system for two different harmonic numbers h. The harmonic number h = 2 corresponds to the ion beam energy W = 4.8 MeV/u and value h = 3 corresponds to W = 2.124 MeV/u. The intensity of the accelerated ions will be about 1 pμA for light ions (A 86) and about 0.1 pμA for heavier ions (A 132). The extraction system of DC140 cyclotron differs from DC72 cyclotron one, based on extraction by stripping foil [4], and consists of electrostatic deflector and two magnetic channels. The first is the passive channel placed in the region of strong magnetic field of the cyclotron. The second is permanent magnet channel placed in the region of low level magnetic field. This report presents the simulation of the 209Bi38+ ion beam dynamic in the extraction beam line of DC140 cyclotron. CYCLOTRON MAGNETIC FIELD The magnetic field of DC140 cyclotron within the project range is formed by variation of the currents in the main and in ten correcting coils. Radial distribution of the magnetic fields for acceleration of 209Bi38+ ions up to energy W = 4.8 MeV/u is shown in Fig. 1 [5]. Figure 1: Magnetic fields for acceleration of 209Bi38+ ions. Breal – magnetic field formed by main coils ; Biso – isocronous magnetic field ; Bform – magnetic field formed by main and correcting coils. For the other kind of ions, the form of magnetic field is similar to the considering case. ___________________________________________ † nyk@jinr.ru 22nd Int.

The DC140 cyclotron is intended for microchip testing on radiation resistance, the production of track pore membranes, and applied physics. The cyclotron will accelerate heavy ions with mass-to-charge ratio A/Z ranging from 5 to 8 up to fixed energies of 2.1 and 4.8 MeV per nucleon. The new cyclotron DC140 will be created as a deep reconstruction of the DC72 cyclotron. In particular, it is supposed to adapt the DC72 electromagnet for obtaining new acceleration regimes. In this paper, the main parameters of the DC72 and DC140 magnetic systems, the results of calculations and measurements of the magnetic field, and estimations of the possibility of formation of new acceleration regimes with minimal changes in the DC72 magnetic system are presented.
