A multi megawatt ring cyclotron to search for CP violation in the neutrino sector

A new approach to search for CP violation in the neutrino sector [1,2] is proposed by the experiment called DAEδALUS (Decay At rest Experiment for δcp At Laboratory for Underground Science). DAEδALUS needs three sources of neutrino fluxes, each one located at 1.5, 8 and 20 km from the underground detector. Here we present the study for a Superconducting Ring Cyclotron able to accelerate the H2+ molecules and to deliver proton beam with maximum energy of 800 MeV and the required high power. The magnetic field produced by the proposed superconducting magnetic sector, simulated by the code TOSCA, the isochronous magnetic field, some preliminary feature on the beam dynamic and the magnetic forces acting on the coils are here presented.
