Possible Improvements to the Carnegie Institute of Technology Synchro-Cyclotron

Our synchro-cyclotron is a 450 MeV machine. We want to increase the beam energy and intensity. The magnetic field will be increased by 6 almost radial high field regions. The steel will come within 2 inches of the midplane. A coil close to the gap will reduce the leakage flux. The acceleration electrodes will be confined to two opposite valleys and will be frequency modulated. The machine improvement is still in the talking stage. I wish to describe two computer programs which may help us to a more definite proposal.
