Description

Various technologies for high current compact H- cyclotron have been developed since 1990s [1,2]. The energy of compact style machines was firstly elevated up to 100 MeV for Radioactive Ion Beam production[3,4]. The project, BRIF, Beijing Radioactive Ion-beam Facility was approved to start the construction in 2011, and the first proton beam was extracted from the 100 MeV compact cyclotron CYCIAE-100 on July 4, 2014[5]. This paper will present the progress on the BRIF after the first proton beam, including the cyclotron improvements for the stable operation and mA beam acceleration efforts, the RIB production and the implementation for mass resolution of 20000, and the future development etc.
