Analysis and Suppression of RF Radiation from the PSI 590MeV Cyclotron   Flat Top Cavity
  The Flat Top Cavity, located in the PSI HIPA Ring Cyclotron leaks RF power of several kilo Watts into the cyclotrons vacuum space causing several complications. A detailed electromagnetic model was created and simulations performed to analyze the mechanisms by which power is leaking out of the Flat Top Cavity. The tolerances needed to limit the leaked power in future iterations of the Flat Top cavity are reported. Comparison of the model to measurements are described as well as two potential methods to limit power leakage. These studies will have direct impact on future RF cavity designs for cyclotrons as power levels increase and higher RF fields are required.
