| Abstract | TRIUMF has operated its 500 MeV cyclotron facility for many years with an overall machine availability of 9092%. The cyclotron rf system is one of the major downtime contributors with approximately 200 hours annually. The two different sources of problems are rf sparking in the cavity and hardware failures. Although the refurbishing program is not complete, the downtime due to rf sparking has already been reduced by a factor of 3, mainly due to an rf controls upgrade and an extensive program of resonator tuning with a new tuning control system. A considerable effort was devoted to improving equipment reliability and serviceability to the cyclotron resonators, RF amplifiers, and transmission lines. |
