Coupling resonance correction and avoidance for the TRIUMF 500 MeV cyclotron
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The linear coupling resonance ν r - ν z = 1 in a cyclotron is driven by the first harmonic in the radial gradient of the radial magnetic field. In the TRIUMF 500 MeV cyclotron, this resonance is encountered multiple times. When the circulating beam is off-centred radially passing through the resonance, the radial betatron oscillation can be converted into vertical oscillation, which can cause beam losses and radio-activation. We investigated this resonance with goal to correct it by using the available harmonic correction coils. Moreover, we improved the cyclotron vertical tune measurement by using trim coils to create a flat-top radial field, and thus confirmed an extra ν r - ν z = 1 coupling resonance passage as this is unexpected from the historical tune diagram. To avoid this passage, the local vertical tune is adjusted to stay farther away from the resonance line by using the trim coils axial field, but at the cost of a local excursion in isochronism. After the correction and the avoidance of this resonance, both the coherent and incoherent vertical oscillations are decreased, thus helping to reduce the machine tank spills under high intensity operation. In this paper, we present the results of calculations and simulations as well as measurements that we undertook.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
