Abstract

The results of the initial month of operation of the Oak Ridge Isochronous Cyclotron are presented along with a description of the machine. An 8-MeV proton beam was obtained at the full 32-in. radius on 18 March. Beam-phase studies since that time have lowered the threshold voltage from 13 to 8 kV. ORIC is designed as a variable energy, three-sector, 76-inch, fixed-frequency cyclotron to accelerate protons to 75 MeV and nitrogen 4 + to 100 MeV.
