Abstract

RIKEN Nishina Center for accelerator-based science in RIKEN is constructing the radioactive isotope beam factory (RIBF), which is capable of providing the world's most intense RI beams over the whole range of atomic masses. The world's first superconducting ring cyclotron (SRC) is the final booster in the RIBF accelerator complex which is able to accelerate all-element heavy ions to a speed of about 70% of the velocity of light. Assembling of six superconducting sector magnets in the SRC vault was completed in August 2005. This paper describes results of their cool-down and excitation tests, which were performed to check the magnet system from the various points of views: magnetic force, coil protection, magnetic field and operation of their cryogenic cooling system.
