Abstract
An open-sector cyclotron (OSC) with a maximum proton energy of 200 MeV has been proposed as the main stage of a national accelerator facility for the Republic of South Africa. Solid-pole cyclotrons are envisaged as injectors for a wide range of ions. The basic requirements for the magnets of the OSC are given and considerations which influence their design are outlined. Methods which have been developed to analyse the design of OSC magnets in terms of orbit properties are described. Characteristics of the magnets are given. For more detailed beam dynamical investigations realistic magnetic fields are determined by numerical methods and used for orbit integration. Results obtained in this way are presented. The reliability of computed fields is established by comparing calculated with measured results for a test magnet.
