The scientific motivation, design criteria, and general features of the 83-inch variable-energy sector-focused cyclotron under construction at the University of Michigan are described. The cyclotron is designed to produce beams of protons, deuterons, and alpha particles of maximum energies 35 Mev, 40 Mev, and 80 Mev respectively to be used in conjunction with external beam optics for high resolution spectroscopic studies of heavy nuclei. The azimuthal field variation is produced by three sets of spiral shims having a maximum spiral angle of 43 deg . The r.f. system, a two-dee half-wave sysiem using dee-stem insulators, is designed to provide a continuously variable frequency from 6.5 to 15 Mc/sec. The external beam handling system consists of two 110 deg , n = 1/2 focusing magnets of radii of curvature 200 cm and three 180 deg , n = 1/2 reaction products analysis magners with radii of curvature of 133 cm.
