Abstract

Studies of the emittance and phase space density of an internal, cold cathode ion source are underway at the NSCL. The source being studied is of the same style as the one used in the Harper Medical Cyclotron [1], and planned for use in the 250 MeV superconducting cyclotron for advanced cancer therapy under development [2]. Experimental results for r−pr and z−pz emittance will be compared with predictions from the orbit tracking code CYCLONE.
