Abstract

The Catania VIS 2.46 GHz source has been installed on a test stand at the Best Cyclotron Systems, in Vancouver, Canada, as part of the DAEδALUS and IsoDAR R&D program. Studies to date include optimization for H2 (+)/p ratio and emittance measurements. Inflection, capture, and acceleration tests will be conducted when a small test cyclotron is completed.
