Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a stripping target, in particular to a stripping target for cyclotron beam extraction and a beam extraction method. Background Art

[0002] Since the first cyclotron was used for physics experiments in 1932, compact, high-intensity proton cyclotrons based on stripping extraction have made significant progress and found widespread application, particularly in nuclear medicine. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, over 1,300 compact, high-intensity proton cyclotrons are in use in nuclear medicine worldwide. The most common stripping extraction cyclotrons are those that accelerate H⁻, D⁻, and H⁺⁻ particles. These systems extract proton beams by stripping electrons from accelerated ions using a stripping membrane.

[0003] However, due to the limited space inside the cyclotron and the obstruction of the magnetic yoke outside the vacuum chamber, the installation space and movement distance of the stripping target are both restricted. Furthermore, in order to achieve precise adjustment of the stripping film position and multi-dimensional directional control, a complex system structure is often required. This requires sufficient design time, trial and error experience, and production costs, while also considering the feasibility of installation, maintenance, and disassembly.

[0004] A fixed beam extraction radius corresponds to the same extraction energy. For cyclotron accelerators with low beam extraction energy and fixed energy, the stripping target structure can be simplified to quickly achieve stripping and extraction of the proton beam. This is especially true for some special, experimental, and temporary operating conditions, such as when the required beam energy is low and the beam stripping point is at a fixed but far distance from the vacuum chamber wall.

[0005] Therefore, for the above-mentioned application scenarios, research on the new cyclotron stripping target system can reduce the production cost and installation difficulty of the stripping target and improve work efficiency, which has far-reaching significance for the research and development of various operating conditions experiments of domestic cyclotrons.

[0058] The present application relates to a stripping target and a beam extraction method for cyclotron beam extraction, which are explained in detail below through specific implementation methods.

[0059] The stripping target is the core device for controlling the beam extraction of the cyclotron. By remotely operating the motor, the relevant mechanical structure is driven to control the stripping film to reach the specified position, correct the proton beam extraction trajectory, and finally successfully extract the proton beam at the corresponding vacuum chamber window.

[0060] Stripping extraction principle: In the development of cyclotron accelerator, stripping extraction method is an important extraction method to obtain high-current proton beam;

[0061] The basic principle is to set an electron stripping membrane on the ion orbit of the corresponding energy. When the negative ions pass through the electron stripping membrane, the electrons are stripped away and they become positive ions with different ionic charge states. Then, as the orbital curvature reverses or becomes significantly different from the central orbit, only the central ions are selected by the accelerator's own strong magnetic field and are extracted from the accelerator.

[0062] The position of the stripping film is a key factor in determining the extraction point of the proton beam. Even a slight change in the rotation radius at a specific energy will cause a huge change in the extraction trajectory of the proton beam in the magnetic field after the stripping. When the cyclotron is running to emit the beam, it is impossible to ensure that the beam trajectory corresponding to the initial position of the stripping film is directly facing the extraction window of the vacuum chamber. Therefore, the stripping target system is needed to control the position of the stripping film and correct the beam extraction trajectory. Figure 2 The stripping target is installed in a new 16MeV medical cyclotron. The schematic diagram of the extraction trajectory of the cyclotron beam after stripping corresponds to the experimental working condition of the stripping target installation with an extracted beam energy of 4Me.

[0063] The main transmission mode of the stripping target proposed by the present invention is composed of a sliding part driven by a screw pair and a swinging part driven by a connecting rod mechanism.

[0064] The screw pair consists of a magnetic fluid main shaft and a tin bronze slider. The magnetic fluid main shaft is directly connected to the servo motor to convert rotational motion into linear motion.

[0065] The connecting rod mechanism consists of a connecting rod B made of brass and a connecting rod A made of aluminum alloy, which are fixed to the connecting rod bracket and tin bronze slider respectively, and connected to each other through titanium alloy pins to convert linear motion into planar rotation.

[0066] The stripping film is fixed to the aluminum alloy stripping film frame, which is directly connected to the brass connecting rod and rotates with the connecting rod.

[0067] Insulation and beam measuring wires are provided on connecting rod B and connecting rod A to realize the beam signal detection function.

[0068] The travel limit function is achieved through the travel switch.

[0069] The beam measuring wires and the travel switch wires are led out through other reserved outlets of the vacuum chamber.

[0070] The overall sealing points include magnetic fluid seals and vacuum chamber window cover seals.

[0071] This application is applicable to situations where the cyclotron beam extraction radius is fixed, that is, the extracted beam energy is fixed; the beam stripping point can be located in the middle of the magnetic field, and is applicable to situations where the stripping point is far away from the vacuum chamber window;

[0072] The structure is simple and the design and production is quick. It is suitable for experimental occasions where temporary change of beam extraction energy is required, especially low energy.
