Abstract
An electric dipole magnet quite similar to that of the IRANCYC10 cyclotron was designed and constructed to conduct the initial tests on the internal Penning ion source to be installed in the cyclotron. This magnet which was designed and constructed in the department of physics, University of Tehran, is capable of producing a magnetic field of 7000 G in the location of the source, a region in the center of the magnet with the radial extent of 15 mm, with no need for cooling. Magnetic fields as high as 1.1 T are also accessible for a few minutes. The ion source in IRANCYC10 is expected to be exposed by a magnetic field of 1100 G. The measurements show that the magnetic field in the location of the source is homogeneous with the maximum deviation value of 1.1% with respect to the magnetic field strength at the center. The magnet is H type with 100 mm pole diameter and 60 mm gap size. Comsol, Ansys Maxwell and SolidWorks codes were employed in the design and construction of the electric dipole magnet.
