Abstract
A superconducting cyclotron accelerating ions up to 250Â AÂ MeV, for medical applications and radioactive ions production is being studied at Laboratori Nazionali del Sud in Catania. The radio frequency (RF) system, working in the fourth harmonic, is based on four normal conducting radio frequency cavities operating at 93Â MHz. This paper describes an unusual multi-stem cavity design, performed with 3D electromagnetic codes. Our aim is to obtain a cavity, completely housed inside the cyclotron, with a voltage distribution ranging from 65Â kV in the injection region to a peak value of 120Â kV in the extraction region, and having a low power consumption.
