Abstract
In this paper, the optimization of the shape of the magnetic channel i nside a superconducting cyclotron is performed. The objective is to en sure a proper shaping and reduction of the intensity of the cyclotron magnetic field so as to facilitate the extraction of the charged parti cles. The optimization problem is solved by following tare different a pproaches: a genetic algorithm and a simulated annealing approach The relative advantages of each of the methods employed for the optimizati on of the magnetic channel are discussed.
