Abstract

The cyclotron designed for the IsoDAR neutrino source represents a paradigm shift in cyclotron performance -- a factor of 10 increase in beam current. This performance is required to develop a neutrino source of sufficient strength for meaningful "decay-at-rest" experiments, but it also can have important ramifications for the isotope-production sector for medical or other applications, by enabling efficient, high-yield production of long-lived isotopes, or isotopes where production cross sections are low.
