Feasibility Study to Increase the Available TAMVEC Proton and Deuteron Energies

Abstract

These studies show: 1) that with reasonable modifications to the panels in the RF cavity and the addition of a driven RF oscillator TAMVEC's maximum proton energy can be increased from 50 MeV to 70 MeV, 2) that re-wiring the trim and valley coils external to the cyclotron would facilitate increasing the maximum deuteron energy from 60 MeV to 70 MeV and, 3) that combining the above two modifications would further increase the proton energy to 80 MeV.
