THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN 83-INCH CYCLOTRON. Progress Report No. 11, Jan. 1, 1963-March 31, 1963

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4717693
The two gradient coil assemblies were aligned and connected, and magnetic field measurements were made to determine the effect of each coil for a given current. Two reactors failed during acceptance tests of the r-f power supply; after repairs the supply operated satisfactorily. The cyclotron was reassembled, and r-f tests were conducted under continuous power. The system operated satisfactorily, although the dee voltage regulator was inoperative. The frequency can be continuously adjusted over its design range under load. The three analyzer magnet power supplies were tested and installed, and one magnet was assembled for testing. During tests in which protons were accelerated to about 8 Mev, it was established that the gradient coils are necessary to prevent a blow-up of the beam at a radius of about 33 inches. (D.C.W.)
