In this paper, the optimization of the shape of the magnetic channel inside a superconducting cyclotron is performed. The objective is to ensure a proper shaping and reduction of the intensity of the cyclotron magnetic field so as to facilitate the extraction of the charged particles. The optimization problem is solved by following two different approaches: a genetic algorithm and a simulated annealing approach. The relative advantages of each of the methods employed for the optimization of the magnetic channel are discussed.
