A technique is provided for the alignment of an H/D puller for use in a cyclotron.
One aspect of the technique comprises magnetically attaching a pair of feeler gages
to an alignment tool for use in aligning the H/D puller. The magnetic retention
of the feeler gages allows a field engineer to make the desired adjustments to
align the H/D puller. Another aspect of the present technique provides for the
H/D puller to include a replaceable tip such that the tip may be replaced without
removing the H/D puller. Because the H/D puller is not removed and replaced, the
alignment of the H/D puller to the ion source is maintained.
