A facility to house a small cyclotron was designed. Construction of this facility, including assembly and testing of the cyclotron, was completed by November 15, 1967. The model CS-15 cyclotron which has been installed in the sub-basement of the Kettering Laboratory of the Sloan-Kettering Institute is an isochronous, azimuthally varying field particle accelerator of modern design, also known as a sector-focused cyclotron. It was manufactured by The Cyclotron Corporation of Berkeley, California, and is described in references (1,2, and 3). It produces fixed energy external beams of protons with an energy of 14 Mev, deutrons with an energy of 8 Mev, He-3 ions with an energy of 23 Mev or alpha-particles with an energy of 15 Mev. The external beam currents for the four beam particles is in excess of 50 microamperes (μa). With suitable targets, it can produce neutrons ranging from a few Kev to over 30 Mev. A summary of the cyclotron operational values is given in Table I.
