Abstract :
It is shown that particles filling an RF bucket in a synchrocyclotron can be stacked with a minimum energy spread if the acceleration voltage and frequency are suitably matched. Beam stretching systems of accelerative and non-accelerative type are examined and their performance with regard to duty-cycles, efficiencies and energy resolution is compared.
