“…The coupled cyclotron facility at the NSCL will consist of an ECR-ion-source-injected K500 cyclotron followed by a K500-to-K1200 coupling line, and then by radial, chargestriping injection into the K1200 cyclotron for final acceleration to 100-200 MeV/nucleon [1]. The basic requirement for the K500-to K1200 coupling line is to transport the required ion beams between two cyclotrons and match the six-dimensional phase space to ensure efficient injection into the K1200 cyclotron.…”

An upgrade now in progress at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) facility will couple two existing superconducting cyclotrons. This will provide significant beam intensity gains for all ions and for heavier ions, also increased energy. These gains will greatly enhance the performance of the NSCL facility, particularly for nuclear studies with radioactive beams and nuclear reaction physics. A significant element of this upgrade is the K500-to-K1200 coupling line used to transport beam between the two cyclotrons. Beyond satisfying the geometric constraints of beam transport, the system must match the six-dimensional phase space obtained from the K500 to that required for injection into the K1200. The transported beams range from low energy, heavy ions like 238 U 28+ at 6.9 MeV/u to high energy, light ions like 16 O 3+ at 16.7 MeV/u. Tracking studies have been done to simulate the required matching conditions and performance of the coupling line. The result of these studies, including required magnets and beam diagnostics are presented in this paper.

At the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL), secondary beams of often short-lived radioactive nuclei are produced by the technique of projectile fragmentation where a primary beam impinges on a thin target to produce a broad spectrum of isotopes with nearbeam velocity. As a major element of a recently funded upgrade of the NSCL facility, an increased capacity fragment separator used to select a particular isotope will be constructed. The key features of the new fragment separator include a high rigidity (6.3 T-m) and large acceptance with a solid angle of 8 msr, momentum acceptance of ±3%, and an energy resolution of 0.1%.Tracking studies and machine simulations have been done to verify the optical stability and performance of the lattice. The results of these studies, including simulations of magnet misalignment and magnetic field errors, are presented in this paper.
