Energy limit of compact isochronous cyclotrons (2211.01029v1)

Published 2 Nov 2022 in physics.acc-ph

Abstract: Existing analytical models for transverse beam dynamics in isochronous cyclotrons are often not valid or not precise for relativistic energies. The main difficulty in developing such models lies in the fact that cross-terms between derivatives of the average magnetic field and the azimuthally varying components cannot be neglected at higher energies. Taking such cross-terms rigorously into account results in an even larger number of terms that need to be included in the equations. In this paper, a method is developed which is relativistic correct and which provides results that are practical and easy to use. We derive new formulas, graphs and tables for the radial and vertical tunes in terms of the the flutter, its radial derivatives, the spiral angle and the relativistic gamma. Using this method, we study the $2\nu_r=N$ structural resonance ($N$ is number of sectors) and provide formulas and graphs for its stopband. Combining those equations with the new equation for the verical tune, we find the stability zone and the energy limit of compact isochronous cyclotrons for any value of N. We confront the new analytical method with closed orbit simulations of the IBA C400 cyclotron for hadron therapy.
