Best Cyclotron Systems Inc (BCSI) has designed and manufactured a 70 MeV compact cyclotron for radioisotope production and research applications. The cyclotron has been built at the Best Theratronics facility in Ottawa, Canada for the INFN-LNL laboratory in Legnaro, Italy. The cyclotron has an external negative hydrogen ion source, four radial sectors with two separated dees in opposite valleys, cryogenic vacuum system and simultaneous beam extraction on opposite lines. The beam intensity is 700 microamperes with variable extraction energy between 35 and 70 MeV. The beam commissioning performances at the customer site are reported. BEAM COMISSIONING The cyclotron and beam line equipment has been installed and commissioned at INFN LN Legnaro and the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) has been successfully repeated before proceeding with high energy beam acceleration. 1 MeV Acceleration The cyclotron is equipped with a low energy beam intercepting probe located at the 1 MeV radius. The probe is used to optimise the beam transport through the Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) line and characterise the beam injection efficiency and acceleration to 1 MeV. A complete characterisation up to 1 MeV has been done and reported [1] as part of the FAT. Beam intensity and stability parameters have been confirmed to better values as shown in Table 1.
