Abstract :
We discuss in this paper finite element calculations that simulate the thermal and mechanical effects on the deflector septum of a cyclotron. The energy deposited by the beam is cooled by radiation and conduction to a water cooled plate. The deformation of the septum due to the thermal expansion and electrical pressure is calculated in the model
