Abstract

The Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Cyclotron Group has been working to acquire a cyclotron for undergraduate research and course supplementation. Progress has been made on the acquisition. In addition to this effort, modeling has been conducted by student researchers to optimize the design of cyclotron parts. This optimization if focused to producing the highest quality beam possible. Optimization is being performed on pole face designs, current levels, d-gap distance and several other parameters. Modeling was preformed using Poisson Superfish and SimIon programming languages. Preliminary designs have been successfully made.
