The Instituto de Física da Universidade de São Paulo (IFUSP) is building a two-stage 31 MeV continuous wave (cw) racetrack microtron. In this work we describe the characteristics of the end magnets for the IFUSP main microtron. The magnets are part of the main acceleration stage, which raises the energy from 4.9 to 31 MeV. We are studying the possibility of increasing the energy up to 38 MeV, so the magnets should have approximately 2x1 m2 region of useful field. The dipoles have a 0.1410 T magnetic field and 1 part in 1000 homogeneity without correcting devices. Using a 2D magnetic field code (FEMM), we illustrate the use of homogenizing gaps with different forms and non parallel pole faces to achieve the necessary homogeneity. The use of clamps to produce reverse fields to reduce the vertical defocusing strength on the beam is also described. In order to calculate the beam trajectories and to evaluate the magnetic field homogeneity within the useful region, a 3D magnetic field software (TOSCA) was used.

The Instituto de Física da Universidade de São Paulo (IFUSP) is building a two-stage 31 MeV continuous wave (cw) racetrack microtron. In this work, we describe the design of the magnetic quadrupole lenses for the IFUSP microtron. The design consists of a laminar structure divided in four equal pieces. Because each piece corresponds to an individual pole, it eases the assembling of the coils and the installation of the quadrupole on the beam transport line without breaking the vacuum. Due to the fact that the quadrupole is laminated along the longitudinal axis, it is possible to change the length of a given lens by adding or subtracting foils. We also present the magnetic field distribution calculated using the POISSON code. A prototype presented good mechanical rigidity and thermal performance, showing that a refrigeration system is not necessary. The magnetic measurements show that the field distribution within the region of interest agrees with the POISSON simulation.
