A 160 cm Synchro- and Variable Energy Ordinary Cyclotron

抄録

A 160 cm cyclotron have been constructed as the first accelerator of the Institute for Nuclear Study, University of Tokyo. This cyclotron can be used as a variable energy ordinary cyclotron as well as a synchro-cyclotron by changing the dee-system and the oscillator system.
As an ordinary cyclotron it can produce protons of any desired energy between 7.5 and 15 MeV, deuterons between 15 and 21 MeV, and α particles between 30 and 42 Mev. These beams are now being used for various experiments on nuclear reactions and for production of radioisotopes.
As a synchro-cyclotron, it can produce protons of 57 MeV in energy and the beam is extracted with high efficiency at a radius near n=1 with an electrostatic deflector.
