The K800 ""CATANA"" Superconducting Cyclotron is currently undergoing the POTLNS upgrade project. This involves replacing its active components (Nb-Ti coils and vacuum chambers) while retaining the existing iron yoke, aiming to increase ion beam intensities by two orders of magnitude. To achieve the target performance within the strict dimensional constraints of the pre-existing yoke, four...
