Abstract

The dissertation focusses on 3 steps:

1. Conversion of voltage for the particle accelerators from analog to a digital version

2. RF Cavity design modification, possible approach on waste heat utilization

3. Further advancement of the indicated cyclotron to perform the self-monitoring on failures and predictive maintenance by machine learning and sensors
