Abstract
The LNS Superconducting Cyclotron (CS) has successfully worked for more than 20 years, with an extracted beam power limited to 100W. Its peculiarity is to provide a broad range of ion species from hydrogen to lead in the energy range between 10 and 80AMeV. Recently, the demand for higher beam intensities came from the experiment NUMEN, which investigates the nuclear matrix element of the neutrinoless double beta decay through double exchange reactions. Also, the in-flight radioactive beams produced at FRIBs@LNS are interested in the high intensity primary beams. Both activities deal with low cross section reactions and require an increase in beam intensities for light ions up to a factor 100. Nevertheless, other experiments will take advantage of the upgrade and there will be even the possibility to produce medical radioisotopes. The solution proposed in this study makes use of extraction by stripping to provide high-intensity beams up to 1014 pps. Major machine modifications, including the cryostat and the superconducting coils, are mandatory to guarantee these new performance. However, heavier ions acceleration will be guaranteed, maintaining the extraction by electrostatic deflectors. An overview of the studies carried out is here presented.
