This paper describes the shimming readjustment of a 1.2 meter cyclotron as its central magnetic field was raised from 14.6kGs to 16.0kGs. Using a model magnet on the scale of 1:5 we selected the optimum sizes of shims. A table is listed for comparison of the measured results of the magnetic field drop between the model and the full scale magnet with similar shapes of shims. The magnetic field contributions by the different sizes of shims were evaluated.
The internal and external H

beams obtained were 15×100µA and 5×100µA respectively. Therefore
the result of the shimming readjustment proved satisfactory.
