Technical innovations for reliability and radiation safety

Using iron as part of the magnet yoke design adds additional inherent shielding to protect the operator and the surrounding environment from radiation exposure.
A clean vacuum provided by the turbo molecular pump, is key to the robust and stable beam in the GENtrace cyclotron leading to decreased need for service interventions.
Utilizing an H2 gas generator for the ion source increases the lifetime of the ion source. Removal of a hydrogen gas cylinder eliminates the risk of potential explosions and fire hazards.
Neither the liquid nor gas targets require helium cooling due to a grid-supported foil design. This significantly improves reliability as well as maximizes beam energy on target.
With the implementation of the beam pipe separation for radiation safety, a piezoelectrically driven motor enables accurate beam regulation for positioning the beam precisely into the target.
