| Abstract | The LNS Superconducting Cyclotron is an isochronous 3-sector compact machine with a wide mass-energy range of heavy ions: beams from protons to lead from 10 to 80 AMeV have been accelerated for the past 20 years. The extraction efficiency is low since a big percentage of the accelerated beam is lost on the electrostatic deflector. Recently, the demand of intense light ion beams, A<20, arose to study rare processes such as the nuclear matrix element in the double charge exchange reactions. Extraction by stripping has been envisaged to increase the maximum intensity by a factor 10-100, so to reach beam power values of few kWatt. Here the feasibility study of the new extraction for this range of ions is presented. The new beam dynamics features have been evaluated and, as a consequence, mechanical constraints have been considered too. It emerges that a new wide extraction channel fulfils the beam requirements. Therefore, a new cryostat has to replace the present one. A first feasibility study of the new cryostat has already accomplished by the PSFC of MIT. A more complete technical design report is under preparation to have the necessary elements to estimate costs and time schedule. | |||||
