The NICA goals are providing of colliding beams for studies of hot and dense strongly interacting baryonic matter and spin physics. The NICA complex injection facility consists of four accelerators: Alvarez-type linac LU-20 of light ions up to 5 MeV/u; heavy ion linac HILAC with RFQ and IH DTL sections at energy 3.2 MeV/u; superconducting Booster synchrotron at energy up 578 MeV/u; superconducting synchrotron Nuclotron at gold ion energy 3.85 GeV/u. In the nearest future the old LU-20 will be substituted by a new light ion linac for acceleration of 2<A/z<3 ions up to 7 MeV/u with additional two acceleration sections for protons, first IH section for 13 MeV and the second one - superconducting for 20 MeV. The status of NICA injec-tion facility is under discussion.

MOPSA52	Modeling of the Magnetic System of the Cyclotron of Multicharged Ions	cyclotron, induction, simulation, light-ion	216
	Yu.K. Osina, A.V. Galchuck, Yu.N. Gavrish, Yu.I. Stogov NIIEFA, St. Petersburg, Russia
	This paper presents the results of the calculation of the magnetic system of the cyclotron for accelerating of multicharged ions developed at NIIEFA JSC. The cyclotron complex is designed to generate ions with a mass-to-charge ratio in the range A/Z= 3/7, accelerate them to energies in the range of 7.5-15 MeV per nucleon. The cyclotron electromagnet has a four-sector structure, with a pole diameter of 4 m. Radial coils placed on the poles under the sectors are designed to adjust the magnetic field for providing isochronous acceleration conditions for different ions. A group of azimuthal coils designed to correct the first harmonic of the magnetic field and to center the orbits of the accelerated ion, as well as to ad-just the position of the axial symmetry plane of the magnetic field is located on the sectors. The required magnetic field topology for ion acceleration was formed in the induction range of 1.29-1.6 T. Calculations were per-formed for the 1/8 part of the electromagnet. A mode was chosen in which the dependence of induction on the radius, which provides isochronism, is realized due to the shape of "iron". For this mode with an induction in the center of 1.44 T, the shape of side plates, plugs, and sec-tor chamfers was determined. The currents in radial coils and the main dynamic characteristics of the cyclotron magnetic field for ion acceleration in the energy control range were calculated using the obtained magnetic field maps.

TUPSB12	Development of a Program Code for Calculation of Charged Particle Dynamics in RFQ	rfq, simulation, space-charge, quadrupole	256

	The calculation of charged particles dynamics is the initial stage in the development of an accelerator. The advancement of computer technology makes it possible to calculate particle dynamics using numerical methods with a required accuracy. During beam dynamics calculation it is necessary to take into account RF field force and self-induced Coulomb forces which also have an effect on charged particles. In this paper a model of «large particles» was chosen to simulate a space charge effect. To implement this model, a program code was written using parallel computing tools in the «C» programming language in the CUDA toolkit. The dynamics of ions with a ratio A / Z from 1 to 3.2 (A - the mass number, Z - the charge state of the ion) in the RFQ structure was calculated. The operating frequency of structure is 81.25 MHz, output energy is up to 820 keV / nucleon. Output beam characteristics (relative velocity, particle capture coefficient, beam profile, transverse emittances, longitudinal phase portrait) were determined. These results were verified by the BEAMDULAC-RFQ program. Polozov S. M., Prob. of Atomic Sci. and Tech., 3 (79), 2012, pp. 131-136.

	V.V. Paramonov, A.P. Durkin, A. Kolomiets RAS/INR, Moscow, Russia
	For applications in proton therapy, linear accelerators can provide beam performances not achievable with cyclic facilities. The results of the development of a proposal for a linac with the maximal proton energy of 230 MeV are presented. Operating in a pulsed mode, with a repetition rate not less than 50 Hz, the linac is designed to accelerate up to 10¹³ protons per irradiation cycle lasting from 10 to 200 seconds. Possibilities of fast, from pulse to pulse, adjustment of the output energy in the range from 60 MeV to 230 MeV, formation and acceleration to the output energy of a "pencil-like" beam with a diameter of ~ 2 mm are shown. Optimized solutions, proposed for both the accelerating-focusing channel and the technical systems of the linac make it possible to create a facility with high both target and technical and economic features. Special attention, due to the selection of proven in long-term operation parameters of the systems, is paid to ensuring the reliability of the linac operation. The feasibility of linac is substantiated on the basis of mastered or modified with a guarantee industrial equipment.
