Review of Cyclotrons and Their Applications at CIAE

The cyclotron is a key technology developed at China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) since the early days of its establishment. It has made great achievements and historic contributions to the multi-disciplinary and multi-application fields at CIAE in the past 70 years. This paper focused on two key technologies, i.e. compact high intensity cyclotron technology and beam dynamics parallel computing technology, which are preceded by CIAE and have taken the lead in the developing trends in the world, as well as two prospective technologies, i.e. high temperature superconductivity and high Q-value resonator, which are currently under research for the 14th five-year plan in China. And the major applications and prospects in the fields of homeland security, health China and scientific frontier were described in detail.
