Abstract

In connection with the superconducting cyclotron program at MSU a feasibility study of axial injection, aimed mainly at the K-800 cyclotron, has been carried out.

The results encompass all major aspects of a working system, i.e. center region, injection trajectories and phase space matching. It is shown that axial injection is indeed feasible, although problems exist not ordinarily encountered in conventional AVF cyclotrons.

The possible solutions and limitations are presented and discussed in detail.
