The Injection in IPCR Separated Sector Cyclotron

The accelerator complex of the proposed IPCR heavy-ion facility consists of a separated-sector cyclotron (SSC), a variable frequency linac, and an AVF cyclotron. The linac and AVF cyclotron are used independently or serve as injectors for the SSC. The distance from linac to SSC is about 40 m. The beam lines of the accelerators are not in the same horizontal plane. The vertical distance between the two beam lines is about 7 m. The beam transfer system consists of a charge stripper, beam bunchers, conventional bending magnets, and quadrupoles. An apparatus which shifts the phase of beam bunch to much higher harmonic acceleration can be used for high intensity mode.
