Abstract
A 230 MeV compact superconducting cyclotron CYCIAE-230 is being constructed by the China Institute of Atomic Energy, which can be used for proton therapy and space radiation physics research. The technology of magnetic field measurement, shimming and processing is the primary task to realize the isochronous acceleration of cyclotron. The CYCIAE-230 has high magnetic field, high field gradient and dense rotation orbits. Therefore, the isochronous field and tune diagram need to be amended simultaneously. The first harmonic is also shimmed at the same process to ensure a good extraction efficiency by using precessional extraction. The precision of field measurement, shimming and processing is much higher and the algorithm is much more difficult than those in normal temperature cyclotron. In addition, the compact structure of the magnet has very narrow installation space, which makes the design of the mapper more difficult. The process of main magnet construction includes strict control of room temperature and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), precise measurement of magnetic field, comprehensive research of beam dynamics and multi-dimensional numerical control (NC) processing under the control of complex algorithms. In this paper, the magnetic field measurement, shimming and processing of the main magnet will be illustrated in detail.
