“…Cyclotrons arose as the more logical and reliable source of proton beams of 50 µA, 10-30 MeV, and have now evolved into near turnkey "black boxes" that almost disappear into the infrastructure that underlies a modern medical facility. This evolutionary path was shaped by the perceived beam current limitations of the tandem, a limitation that has been removed by today's multicusp negative-ion sources [8].…”

“…The actual performance regularly exceeds these specifications. The Torvis multicusp ion source typically achieves more than 150 µA [8]. The two chains, rated at 150 µA each, charge the high-voltage terminal, with demonstrated accelerated-beam currents in excess of 115 µA.…”

Most of the developments over the last several years related to Pelletron accelerator are in the field of accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) and other low beam current applications with the exception of a very high DC electron recirculation Pelletron. High precision AMS systems based on tandem Pelletrons from 500 kV to 5 MV terminal potential are now in use for routine high precision AMS measurements. Their performance will be reported. In addition, there has been significant advancement in the design of the multi-cathode SNICS source for the use of both gas and solid samples within a single source. The latest performance of these sources will be discussed. New diagnostics is being developed for very low beam currents. The latest design of the low current beam profile monitor (LCBPM) will also be presented.
