"December 2011." Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. Includes bibliographical references (p. 129-131). A beam delivery and transport system were designed for the use in MIT Materials Test Facility (M2TF). The purpose of this beam delivery system was to design a 36 MeV Proton Cyclotron for DPA accumulation and a 100 MeV Helium Cyclotron for irradiation failure and volumetric helium accumulation simulation. The purpose of the beam transport system was to incorporate the two cyclotrons into the beam transport system and transport their beams to the target chamber, the location of the target sample. The cyclotrons were designed using Opera-3D and Acfields. The beam transport system was designed using TRANSPORT. The shielding analysis for the entire facility was designed using SolidWorks and calculated with MCNP/X The design specification of M2TF with respect to beam energy, current density, and control were achieved based on these design tools and previously developed analytic methods. The design process for the cyclotrons resulted in a 4.3T lsochronous Proton Cyclotron and 3.9T Isochronous Helium Cyclotron. A beam transport system connected the cyclotrons to the target chamber with three doublet quadrupoles and one dipole bending magnet The shielding calculation proved the total effect dose rate in rem/year for the final design facility was safe for operational workers. by Tyler Christopher Sordelet.
